He's another picture of one of my bushes.
They will have 10 or more flowers - 1 at a time - on a flower stalk .
It might take that flower stalk a month or more to fully bloom out.
I think this bush is well worth having. Very fragrant!!!.......cheryl

Mine finally bloomed last week. The huge flowers open around 6:30 PM. I can detect the very spicy fragrance for 3-4 hours after the flowers open, after that the fragrance becomes faint. The plant is very slow growing. The fragrance is too pungent (spicy) to my nose

Does your plant smell spicy or sweet?

I would say they are more like a gardenia fragrance to me, Jim

Lovely plant. Mine too has great perfume.Sadly every winter the leaf tips brown off. Could this be the cold or lacking in something else?

I had the awesome privilege of watching a flower open up one night. It just sort of unspiraled. It is my favorite frangrance, sweet with a hint of cloves, and yes, on that first nite, it perfumed the entire patio.
I"ve had it in a large pot for a year now. I hate to move it outside. I know, cut the cord, but I want my baby close by.
