I've got a small collection of starts going out in my garden, and have been covering them up when the nights go below 40. Now, it's warming up this week, and can you imagine, I've got flowers coming on several of these little plants. They don't seem to want to flower in the summer heat here, but are just loving this weather with warm days and cool nights.

Here's my B.alba odorata with a nice flower scape. No scent yet, but the flowers aren't open all the way.

Strangely enough, I saw a large planting of this one at the botanical garden in Grand Cayman (where it never gets cold) when we visited there in December. It was in full bloom, big and lush, and smelled lovely.
