    This is a very floriferous plant for me, blooming three to four times a year, constantly growing new leads from which to flower. I just wish I could get more than one lead flowering at the same time! This spike has nine five-inch wonderfully fragrant flowers. I have four color forms of this species; if anyone knows where I can get a true coerulean form (not the 'coerulea' seedlings I got that bloomed out standard color form!), please let me know.

    It grows consistently and well, flowers multiple times a year, it's fragrant AND the flowers look like that? Sign me up!
