Oh...doing the 'Happy Dance'.... gag. Actually, this is a first time for me...and I can't tell you what the fragrance is because it is about 20' UP and I can't get to it!!! But my 'guesstimate' is that the flowers are at least 3" across and the 'bell' shape is about 3" deep. Just spectacular!!! I have been waiting for H. lauterbachii to bloom for a couple of years and today I looked UP....and nearly fell down!!! I shall have to make some cuts and plant it around the property....really spectacular!!!! I will try to get the ladder tomorrow and get up higher and closer. Sorry for the blurry photo...I am afraid it is ME!!!
