Lin, Cinta, Tarev: Surprise! Surprise! From Lin's recommendations, I picked out 3 for consideration: Krimson Princess Hoya, Sweetheart Hoya, and Queen of the Night. Then they appeared in Tarev's list (I picked b4 Tarev's post). The most exciting one came like "Bingo" to me that bring my memory to near reality: 20 yrs ago when I was still living in Petaluma (north of S.F.), I used to go daily jogging in the evening around neighborhood street. From one house to another, I passed through everyone's front yard and browsed over their different plants. They were all pleasing to your eyes in each different way and style. However, only two caught my nose for their unforgettable fragrance. You would already know the first one must be "Rose". Some specific Rose has very subtle, yet romantic fragrance; it's a classical! The other one came from an unknown shrub, vine that just spread up from side of walking path and reached top of fence. It gave a very pleasing aroma which can lift one's spirit (IMO). After the finding, every time I would stop jogging b4 that house and slowing walking through the section to inhale as much possible. Unfortunately, never got chance meeting the host and inquiring the name of the plant. (I am just a new plant lover now. Never b4 ever try searching related info...) But I never forget the joy of appreciating those two plants' fragrance. And that's why I brought up this topic. OK, now I believe probably all of you now know which plant is this other one. Cinta and Lin have mentioned it (Cinta's word "awesome" is quite agreeable) and I have checked the pictures. It's Star Jasmine!
I still want to try Tarev's Amaryllis, fragrant or not. But I think I have found my indoor fragrance plant (caring and condition seem manageable and not as difficult as other fragrance plants like orchids) and I plan to grow it soon. Will appreciate all help/advice you can provide (especially Lin and Cinta for your experience).
