I bought one of these plants 2 years ago thinking it was very fragrant like the species at the botanical gardens. But I found out there's two species, one doesn't have any fragrance, and the other one smells amazing. The fragrant one at Florida botanical gardens in Largo is in full bloom now while mine bloomed heavy back in December. I started some seedlings from the fragrant one's seed a year ago . But they seem super slow from seed. The seedlings are only about 4 inches tall after a year although they look healthy. Maybe they're eventually shoot up. They need to dry out somewhat between irrigation because they hate soggy soil.

I think maybe it was getting overwatered, because I hardly ever watered mine in Z9b/10a when I had one, and it grew like mad. I'd never water any plant twice a day.

My sister bought one last week at Rockledge Gardens. It isn't blooming so I don''t know what the flowers are going to look like but she's hoping it will look like one we see on our walk in Cocoa Village. If you live near Rockledge I know they had about 5 more plants for sale when she bought her plant. They might be able to give you more information. Their number is (321) 636-7662 .

I may have some good news 2-3 blooms on the transplanted plant
