Blooming in November '16!
Hedychium 'Dr Moy'.
So far it's lightly scented and smells similar to other gingers IMO.
Anything fragrant blooming for you?

Comments (2)As I was reading the 2nd one I didn't even have to see who said it. That man was amazing and he sure hit the nail on the head with this one,in a way that cuts through all the crapola and gets right down to it. I guess that was his style though.I sure would have liked to sit down with a cup of darjeeling tea and chatted with him...See Morewow, another november bloom today
Comments (12)nancy in KY.Thank you for such sweet comments.I had a bunch of the AT's last year, after a friend of my daughters, sent me a dozen cuttings to root.ita my first time seeing cutting of them, and I told my daughter, just what am I suppose to do with these sticks', she said well, you wanted some angel trumpets and thats what they are, you just have to root them.I had never seen any before and they looked like sticks to me, but, I gathered up some pots and potting soil and planted each on in a pot,and to my surprise, every one of them rooted, except one.I kept two plants andd gave the others away to my daughter and her friends. NATELINDA.The daylilies in pots just do much better for me,and they ARE easier for me to take care of them, too, now that I have so many back problems.I am always moving them around in different places.This old clay soil I have is not good for growing much of anything.I grew gorgeeous roses for a few years, then lost most of them.I still have a few, but nothing like I had. CELESTE. my post says 16th, but the pictures was taken on 15th and was late when i posted it, then I posted some mopre pictures a little while ago of what I took today.I have terry Lyninger too,and the blooms wouldnt open last spring when it bloomed.I am thinking about digging it up and putting it back in a pot. RITA. the potted daylilies ARE growing like gangbusters, as if it was still springtime, but for two days its was like summer here with 80 degrees, but turning colder rright now, after a cold front wen through here last night. some of the potted ones has a few brown leaves, but they are the dormants,so I figure thats normal for them.There is a few potted ones I wish would slow down growing just a little, so I can wait till early spring to move them to bigger pots.I have maybe 6 plants out there that I will have to put in bigger pots, or remove a fan or two from them and put in another pot.I think I will move them to bigger pots and leave them big like they are,. especially WONDER OF IT ALL, That one I would rather leave it a big plant. CTC;,,KAY,,, SHARON. tHANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND COMMENTING. sure going to be hard waiting till next spring and summer to see more blooms. Jean...See MoreI'll share my recipe, if you'll share yours, November 16, 2011

Robert, nice macro of the gigantea bloom. Does the scent smell like sunscreen at all? My lactea bloom does, to my nose at least, with no notes of clove or spice. Not the scent I expected but mine has a single bud on it again (it is still pretty much a rooted cutting) so I'm excited to smell it again. I really want to get gigantea from Gardino's, should I?
Anyway, here's some bloomings in Florida, I have so many flowers (including non-fragrant) that it feels like spring!
Brassavola Little Stars. Nice scent, wish it was stronger but it's been cooler and drier outside so the scent doesn't carry as far.
Hoya australis from accents. Light scent of spicy chocolate. I was dissapointed because I read so much about that powerful fragrance.
Oklahoma rose. My favorite red rose and favorite fragrance hands down.
Oklahoma closeup.
Pope John Paul II, my other favorite rose fragrance. Classic rose with lemon and herb/pine is the best I can describe it.
Hoya lacunosa never quits. As you can probably tell it gets a lot of Florida sun.
Hong Kong Orchid. Smells like soap. One of the first blooms. In another month the whole tree will be covered with blooms until spring. The neighbors love this tree and it gets a lot of compliments but its starting to take over the sidewalk and now the road which I'm sure someone will have something to say about. It takes a lot of trimming to keep this one in check but it's worth it!
My Oncidium Sharry Baby is putting out buds so I'm sure I will be back with that as well as a photo of my Brunfelsia lactea when the bloom opens.

7 years agoUnknown epiphyllum blooming away under the arbor. Wish I could sniff it in the afternoons to enjoy its light citrus like scent.

Enjoying some last blooms as the garden prepares to settle in for the winter...
The only fragrant bloom is camellia x 'Scented Snow' (2nd pic). I think the fresh light scent is stronger than it was in previous years as it matures. I went to a lot of trouble importing this one from the US. Its beauty on a rainy dreary day made me catch my breath:)

Brunfelsia lactea opened tonight. Smells like plumeria, like sunscreen and something sweet.

Thank goodness my indoor gardenia opened up a nice large bloom! (We've had almost record-breaking rain for Oct)

7 years agoI bought it at Hodnik as Brunfelsia americana but i think it's mislabeled. Maybe it's lactea or gigantea? How to tell them apart? Anyway i love the fragrance. It's definitely superior to B. calycina's smell.
