You can't believe the fragrance on my deck tonight. The Night blooming Cereus is blooming at least 20 flowers have just opened. Off in the distance I can smell the Night blooming Jasmine, Lots of Brugmansias, several other Jasmines. Several different Hoyas and of course the Gardenias and the Lime tree. It is wonderful. Just so sad that we don't have a big party tonight to inhale the scent. DH and I have just been sitting there enjoying the night air.

Oh, I can almost smell the scents...
Gosh, I am right with you picabo. I have several brugs, citrus, night blooming jasmine, several other types of jasmine all blooming right now, and I love to go out there at night and smell everything.
The weird thing is that the night blooming jasmine is huge, and covered with open blooms, but the smell is not that strong, and I don't know why. You have to really stick your face down near the blooms to smell them. Does anyone else ever have this situation?
tigerlily... Wait a night or two. Mine has been open for about a week but only started to smell strong last night.
lol its been about a month since it started to produce blooms, although I have noticed that it has gone thru a flush or two with the blooms. Here is a picture of it. I think its big enough to produce a smell....
It grows really fast, I got that in May in a little 2.5" pot! Here is a picture of some of the blooms on it, there are probably 6-7 sets of these and they have been blooming for almost a week......do I have a mutant or confused plant here??? lol
No, not a mutant LOL
I still think that you will start to smell it soon. It is often 9:00 or even 10:00 before I start to smell it. I don't know what triggers the smell.

How wonderful!
I think it's nice to catch the scent of my Oriental Lilies when I walk by, but I've ignored the night. Most would not survive zone 5 and I have no storage room, but I'm going to do something next year!
How easy are the Brugs? I sure hear a lot of people ''hooked'' on them.
