As a newbie to this amazing plant, I have fussed for two years over my germinating seeds, then my baby plants, then dealing with overwintering and dormancy, bringing them back from the dead this spring, and repotting and fertilizing experimentally. It's been a fascinating challenge, and the help and support from contributors on this forum has made it so much easier. So of course I want to share the amazing results of this journey.

I've posted photos of this lovely specimen throughout her growth. Now she is in full flower, a spectacle of glory! The fragrance at night is a citrusy-anise that makes me want to bed down beside her!
