This plant has a lovely subtle perfume which wafts up onto our verandah in the evenings.

Gorgeous! I love this plant...even though it's not commonly grown here. : >)

It was once very common over here ... but seems to have lost its attraction. I love it ... as it flowers all year round ... and in the summer you really notice the perfume on those hot sweltering days.

I'm so envious! : > )

I am going to buy one this coming spring...and try watering it with a certain solution which helps sweeten the water. I'll see if it works. : > )
