    Long-lasting flowers and a nice fragrance. I grow it cool in moderate light.

    Absolutely wonderful. I'd love to try this one out, but I'm afraid it's a bit too rangy for my growing area, which is getting crowded enough as it is.

    Thanks, folks. It is about 10" tall and until it gets a lot of growths it is does look rather awkward and very rangy.

    EvaJ, welcome to OI. I grow it with 50F minimum and 80F maximum.

    Wow, nice species (and photos), Marni! The white flowers are very "refreshing" to look at, somehow. What kind of fragrance do the flowers have?

    I can't remember exactly but they are sweet without being cloying.
