Mary, I now have so many seedlings growing, I don't know where to start on pictures. I only germinated my first seeds in very late Dec. 2013/early Jan. 2014 (two plants ), but since then, I now have about two dozen plants. They range in size from 4" to 6'. I had to cut those first two seedlings in half in the spring (2015) and now those four seedlings are again 5' tall and multi-tipped. Needless to say, they are really great growers. One plant, germinated in June, 2014, is in full bloom and that inflo. begin forming when the seedling was only 13 mo. old. Apparently that's more than unusual. That plant continues to be in full bloom and (in my eyes) those flowers are beautiful. I have told my wife that it is her plant and she can name it...........still waiting.

Here are the flowers. The pictures were taken on Sept. 24, and there were 8 flowers on that stem yesterday. The fragrance is light and fruity. I can't tell you the fruit though. One of my solarium workers said the fragrance reminded him of a mix of peach and citrus. I am not good describing fragrances.
