    Tay Daum has bloomed 4 months from when I bought a small fan from the hybridiser. I first put it in a 6"pot. Before I planted it out recently, it had a tall bloom spike which I cut and gave away. I am amazed it has done so well, and big blooms have continued for a month now. We had some cool nights but it only reached freezing for a few minutes on a couple of nights. Great having early bloomers in this sub tropical (YES!) climate.

    It has a very slight, not great fragrance.
