    It's flowering now and the scent is heavenly.

    OK, it didn't grow as big as the ones we saw last year, but it is a good size and we are so pleased with it.

    :thumb: Oh my gosh Kedi that is fantastic.. You can almost smell the close-ups.!!! Wonderful..!!:thumb:

    :confused:I had some seed given me in Jan but nothing yet, so am assuming they didn't take. They are in the cold frame & not in way so will leave them as you never know... Any ideas..??:confused:

    Thanks Marley. We were out sniffing a while ago, they smell stronger in the cool of the evening.

    Sorry, I don't know about seeds but I'd leave them there just in case as January wasn't all that long ago.

    I'd leave your seed for at least a year Marley, and if nothing shows, perhaps some frost over the winter.

    It looks good kedi, hope it makes some offsets to carry on next year.

    We hope so too, Pete. The man at the nursery where we bought it last year, spoke of the old plants producing side bulbs, then dying off. Just hope that our plant knows this and has taken care of its offspring!
