Hi Guys! Gary and I were just talking about Canangas, Robert! I have both varieties, and you're right, there is little to no scent under most circumstances from the flowers of the dwarf. If I remember correctly, the only time I ever caught a scent from my dwarf is when it was hot and humid at night. Otherwise, the flowers smell musky just like the leaves. I got my Cananga odorata var. fruticosa from Natural Selections. I have the regular one from Top Tropicals, but it hasn't bloomed for me yet so I can't report on the fragrance of that one. I did have a Desmos chinesis, and those flowers had some fragrance, but it died on me one year.
