Alexandramou:

Yes, the flowers smell like coconut-vanilla. It's very famous for its fragrance, this is the reason why it's so common.

Terratoonie:

Alexandramou:

I really though this vine grow there in Corfu. Also, I though you knew it had a coconut-vanilla scent to the flowers. To me: the flowers smell like coconut cream pie.

The flowers are so sweetly scented, you almost want to eat the flowers. lol! :>)

I agree with Alex. Mmmmmmm. Lol.
Coconut cream pie? We'll definately have some of that! :o)

Beautiful and a fantastic aroma.......my kind of plant.

Lindalooloo:

You like coconut-cream pie, too. lol! :>)

Dottydaisy2:

It can grow in a pot. Although, it's an extremely fast growing vine. One of the fastest growing vines in the world, in fact.

The flowers look huge!

Alexandramou:

The flowers are huge! I'll post a close up of the flowers now.

Perhaps not for here then lol

Dottydaisy2:

They can be grown in a pot. They can stay pretty small and grow very slowly in a pot. In the ground they can grow 3ft/1m a day.

Never tried it, but most definately up for a taste test, being as I adore coconut. lol. :o)

Yes, I absolutely love coconut cream pie.
