WOW, look at that plumosa, It is a BIG one

I have never thought to smell the blooms on mine (I have the pink variety). I'll have to remember to do that. Nice, BIG specimen you have there!

Oh! That LSNED saying is one of my favorites & most used! :)

That is a beauty. What size pot is it in?

Dawn

Wow! That is quite something.

Dawn, The pot is 14 inches in diameter and 3 inches tall.

Rosemarie, My pink flowered one also smells nicely.

I had heard that they smelled very nice. I was surprised when several folks here posted their M. plumosas in bloom, and did not mention the scent. My two plumosas in their 4 inch pots have not volunteered to bloom yet. They do seem to grow pretty fast, and I do highly anticipate their eventual blooming..

Emy,
That is huge!!! Mine put on a nice show this fall, now time to put them back in the basement. M. elongata should bloom soon. Keep it up.

Lovely clump you got there.

Gorgeous!!!! Congratulations and thanks for sharing. I envy you, that's for sure :P~.

Beautiful plant!
I wonder whether some have a considerably stronger scent than others, or whether they're primarily fragrant at certain times of the day; I've never noticed the fragrance when mine bloomed, either, and my sense of smell is usually pretty sharp.

I think that time of day has a lot to do with it. I have noticed that this plant and many cacti as well as succulents such as cyanchum smell the strongest during the hot hours of the day. Other succulents, such as Pachypodium lamerei smell the strongest during the early hours of the evening.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing with us!

That is quite astounding!

I had a good sniff today, admittedly not as many flowers as this, and I couldn't smell anything :(

I'm in love!!
