| I did a double take when I saw this one! I can't remember seeing one before with this many blooms. This is what you folks up north are missing since you have to grow these in pots. This is in Houston. |

| Wow!!!!! There are some of what I *thought* were really big ones of these around here, but nothing like that!! Did you smell it? I planted one last year but it's not doing much, no flowers yet. |

| This is larger than most that I see around and has more blooms. Maybe they've kept it fertilized. Then, we did't have winter last year, not really, so it didn't freeze to the ground like they usually do. Couldn't smell it from my car,a and it was late morning, so it may not have had much scent. Yours can bloom small, are you giving it any fertilizer? I planted mine last year, it was in a 6" pot, and it has grown a couple of feet and has bloomed 2-3 times. |

| You're right, I should use some fert! Where I put mine used to be grass until recently, so the ground there still needs a lot of help. Thanks for the advice and inspiration! |
