    Warm, shady, wet summer. Cool, bright, dry winter. Fragrant.

    Thanks, Tom, the plant (not including flowers) is 18" wide at the top. I've had this plant about 25 years and as happy as I am with this blooming, about 12 years ago I had one much better. Unfortunately I was shooting film at the time and the images are a bit over-exposed.

    Ann, it is certainly worth a try.
