Increased in size and now covered in flowers, but can't smell the scent, air too cold I think.

I have mine in a pot near the back door and Ciara blew her over, as they weather was so bad I brought it indoors, for the first time I smelt the fragrance so yes it must have been the warm air

did you suffer any serious damage Dawn? We have been so fortunate again....the storm just skirted us. We have had some snow today, but not enough to settle and the winds, though there were strong gusts, was nothing to worry about. In Dundee City the river Tay came right over on to the car parking.

I've got a small cutting with flowers, so I think I will take it inside to find out if I can smell the scent.
Glad you suffered no damage after the storm. The wind was horrendous here. Couple of fence panels were really bowing, so the bottom rails broke, but they were rotted, just need a couple of replacement lathes putting on.

Nothing major like trees down just bins, benches, pots, etc over but no damage. I hate the wind.
Yes Siris, bring it indoors and I’m sure you’ll get the fragrance.

As the sun warms it up, you will find it’s really powerful, quite heady Siris, ours has grown far too large, it will need pruning right back! hope it will survive the devastation!

I'm going to take cuttings in early Summer, got to keep this beauty going.
When do you feed yours? As it’s a winter flowerer is it in autumn?

I put the little cutting in the kitchen for the afternoon, could just smell the scent, but there is only one tiny flower cluster.
Dawn, I don't feed. I'll probably put a wee bit of home made compost around the base.

We don’t feed ours either, don’t want it getting any larger lol
