K, just ran out in the rain to remember the other one I got--'Cinnamon Cindy' the folks at the sale were saying that she was VERY fragrant. Mine has buds but no blooms yet.

My 'Fragrant Pink' however is loaded and when a tree does waft--they must like them at Massee Lane becaus they are all over the gardens.

The most interesting discovery was the plant 'Camellia lutchuensis'
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/181890/ which is the stock from which the fragrant varieties came, Dr. Ackerman uses it for his crosses and comes to Massee quite often they say. The bloom is so delicate!

Here's my 'Fragrant Pink'!
