What a beautiful px. Our plant is about 20 - 25 years old and has never bloomed, until last week. It is so strong that at night I have to open the windows and turn the fan on, then retreat to the bedroom. It has kicked my hayfever into full gear. Does anyone know if we can put it outside in this area...Springfield, OR...in the shade? Thanks...

I did read that they encourage to cut the flowers off. Because while the plant is blooming the bloom drains everything from the plant.

I have had my plant for about five years and it is in bloom now (March). The fragrance at night is gorgeous. The flower closes up in the daytime and reopens at night. I don't know why it decided to bloom this year but I wish it would bloom all the time.

i have had my plant for 10 yrs. it is now about 7' high . it has always been an indoor plant until this past summer. we put it outside this summer and we brought it indoors before the first frost and suddenly it started to bloom . it is so beautiful and fragrant the entire first floor of our home has this beautiful fragrance in the evening .
i was so excited to see this i was calling everyone that i knew to tell them. also i have a question how long will this last ? where the flowers are it feels sticky. i hope some one gets back to me on this. i am sooooo happy to see it bloom :-)
