Thanks, Candy, for all that info! You are an invaluable source of information here. Your white one is magnificent. I am wondering if maybe it is a hybrid of some sort between E. oxypetalum and another hybrid. I've not heard of any other hybrids being fragrant. Very interesting!

Sandy, you could run a heater inside your greenhouse on those nights that it freezes and try to keep the temps at around 40-45. I think the decrease in light and subsequent increase in light in the spring could also signal them to bloom as well. Mine are outside on my semi-covered patio all year and get the winter chill down to 37, and they get exposed to the natural light conditions as well.

Here are some more pics:
