The Toad trees were just starting to bloom at the San Diego Zoo. They have very fragrant white flowers which are even more fragrant at night. Photo taken Oct. 27, 2010.

Thanks! I really like Tabernaemontana fuchsiaefolia, however, it's not too widely available for sale here...the only species commonly available is Tabernaemontana divaricata.

No, I prefer this one - less fussy. Looks a little like a Plumeria to my untrained eye.

Yes, Tabernaemontana fuchsiaefolia is easier to grow than Tabernaemontana divaricata. It looks like a Plumeria flower because it's in the same family.
