I don't have one, but have the orange jasmine which also tends to bloom at night (also during the day)...the scent is so strong, but not as strong as the night blooming! Pure heaven!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18123627573356760362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436300684009668766.post-91094327217604667442010-08-24T08:53:47.942-04:002010-08-24T08:53:47.942-04:00These are indeed very sweet smelling flowers!

Immediately everybody went suddenly very quite n ran helter skelter! Why? We were told that when you walked at nite n if there was a sweet fragrance suddenly, there might be a pontianak (local vampire) around! Hehehe..actually it was these nite-blooming jasmine in a neighbour's garden after all!p3chandanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103679390426867817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436300684009668766.post-42692468009163671292010-08-23T21:23:01.056-04:002010-08-23T21:23:01.056-04:00Your blog is so beautiful, as usual.

We also had a low opinion of the passion vine at that point. using the fruits for kids grendes. What I would give to have those things in my not so tamperate garden!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704604591851384816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436300684009668766.post-64581398125245302492010-08-23T13:52:27.442-04:002010-08-23T13:52:27.442-04:00I would happily grow this in my parent's garde...I would happily grow this in my parent's garden if my dad wasn't such a big baby with the allergies. On my own balcony its too shady so oh well. BTW, I repotted the tipuana tipu and it should perk up in no time! There were a lot of air pockets in the soil that may be to blame. Umm... and I'm embarrassed to say that I may have messed up on the cattley guava seeds. I decided to briefly stick the fruit in the freezer to take no chances with the fruit fly larva but then forgot about it. I'm so embarrased! I'm going to bite the bullet and order some from tradewinds fruit. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness!Steve Asbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095474295719758914noreply@blogger.com
