The Epi hookeri flowers only last a few hours. When it was blooming last year I stayed up late and kept going out to the backyard with a flashlight to see if the buds had opened yet! They started opening slowly around 10:00 p.m.

I took this photo at about 12:30 a.m. and by 8:00 a.m. they were done and wilted. No fragrance that I could detect at all on E. hookeri. I think this one bloomed in October.
