| Here are a few of mine I took pictures of today! Thanks for looking.
African Gardenia's
A Lemon Meyer Tree in bloom.
Almond Verbena and my Michelia Alba right beside it.
One of my Figs, a petite one still fruiting. Very delicious when ripe. . A few Orchids all throwing out buds! I am sooo excited about these since it will be my first year of blooms and surprises. All are very fragrant species.
Last but not least, one of my favorites...Brunfelsia. These few flowers are such a spicy sweet aroma as I speak. The whole room smells delightful as te sun sets all night.
And a couple of extras.. Not fragrant though, but a bit early in the flowering department;-)

| Mike! The African Gardenia is amazing! I love the shape and look of the leaves! Flowers too! What a neat plant! Everything looks beautiful! Can't wait to see the orchids. :-) Come spring I am planning on getting a new lemon and fig. The fruit on yours looks great! JoJo |

| Wow! Mike, I am continually impressed by your ability to grow such luscious, healthy looking plants, and by the types and variety you have! They're all so gorgeous! Your orchids, which are my favorites, are so beautiful. They look so happy! :-) And that African Gardenia... how unusual, and so lovely! I so badly wish I had the environment to grow orchids and plants like that! There are a few things I can do to help boost the humidity, but as you know, I must take care because of all the electronics here. I'm impressed, Mike! What more can I say?! Great work! :-) Thanks for sharing, and for making my day! :-) |

| I don't have ANY fragrant house plants! I DO have a few Brugmansias. They have large flowers that have a strong perfumy-melony type franrance. Right now they're in the cellar going dormant until the spring.

| Nice! Are these also know as Angels Trumpets? I grow Devils Trumpet in the summer, the fragrance is like a cross of Jasmine and Lavender! JoJo |

| Yes, Angels Trumpets! |

| Elkay! Are they easy to care for in the winter? If so, I would like to try one. Do they drop their leaves and if so thank God, because I hear spider mites love these plants. Your plants are so pretty and must smell devine! Jodik...I must say that Orchids are my favorites next to Citrus. You never know what you are going to get, and the fragrance is breath taking on everyone of them. I can't wait to see the blooms and smell. Yes, the African Gardenia is one of the best plants anyoen could own. They are easy to grow if grown in a very porous mix and kept warm. Humidity not required and that's it! They flower continually all year. It has never been out of bloom since I have had it. This is a keeper! It smells heavenly! Thank you Jodik:-))) Jojo, same to you! Looks like you love the same plant Jodik does..lol You know, come the spring, I can always start cuttings from this plant if anyone is brave enough to give it a shot. They are even easier than growing Violets fo me. Have a great night all!:-) |

| Now why wouldn't I like the same plant as Jodi? Twins, remember.. hehehe.. and we have good taste. ;-) Dry, Humidity not required, warm.. sounds like Arizona would be a good place for it. ;-) My craft room to be exact. ;-) Have a good night to you too! JoJo |

| Mike - you can either bring them inside or put them in you cellar/garage for the winter. Inside they will lose most of their leaves eventually, but recover when outside again. I remove the leaves and some branches from mine and they go into my cellar in the dark until March or so. I only give them about 1 cup of water a month. And yes, these things are mite MAGNETS! Just keep some miticide handy. |
