Oh brother, I wish I'd just assumed incorrectly & went on my way... LOL! TY for that. If you'd offered, I would have said I already have some. I'm going to stop making new white ones now though, I really wasn't bowled over by the scent. This genus can't have so much hype about its' fragrance over what I've sniffed from those. I'm not a picky sniffer, I don't think - I like Lantana & Cleome, Buddleia, these are often said to smell, but not GOOD.

Someday I will find a Datura metel flower to sniff! I found a flower on Hoya carnosa at L's last week and that ended that mystery. After digging the other plants out from in front of it, then dumping water from the drip saucer attached to the hanging basket down my arm and all over my shoe, I was able to put nose to flower, and phew - it stunk, bad. (I checked, it wasn't the water causing the foul odor.) That didn't smell worth $15 at all, chocolate was the farthest thing from my mind to describe it. Not something I'd want in the house, so extremely glad I hadn't finally found one before when I felt like giving up $15 just to see what a flower smelled like someday. So much for decades-long hype on that, case closed (and money saved.)

If they would stop attaching drip saucers to hanging baskets, what a wonderful-er world it would be! I hope you & your critters are having a pleasant evening, Friend! Hugs!

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
