Wow, those are really pretty! Great shot, Denise!

I'm not good with scents either...however, I do think DS-70 smells a bit like butter!

Kelly

That's BEAUTIFUL Denise...is it white or does it have a hint of pink in there? Either way its a beauty!

Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations on the longifolia blooms Denise. I don't have this one but I do have Hoya shepherdii and it's blooms smell amazing as well. I am not sure if I could describe the scent either but it sort of reminds me of a soft baby powder floral scent.
I can definitely smell my DS-70 and my multiflora (Cyrtoceras floribundum) smells at different times of the day but you have to go right up to the flowers.

Oooooh I find that really lovely. Nice growing girl.

Kelly V

Very nice and with only one cutting.
I hope to get this one this year.

Cindy

I like this one. Thanks for sharing. I will add this one to my list too.

It's color is fairly true to the photo - a very pale yellow. It's too bad we can't capture fragrance and share it!

Ok, Mike, at least now I know the lady in my plant club isn't losing it! I had never heard anyone comment about a fragrance with multiflora, and she's very elderly, so I thought maybe it was "wishful thinking" playing tricks with her mind!

I can never resist the long thin-leaved species, and shepherdii is probably my favorite because it has the thinnest leaves. Also blooming right now (speaking of narrow long leaves) is Dischidiopsis parasitica...

This is actually last year's bloom, because it's SO hard to get a good photo of Dischidia's tiny flowers - I took 5 photos and none of them came out worth sharing! I must have been more steady or patient last year!

/Denise I'm so excited to smell longifolia someday. I've resented my longifolia for a while now because it's about 2 years old and the same puny size as it grows a leaf and loses a leaf and grows a leaf and loses a leaf. But, I repotted it in coir yesterday and the leaves are just sooooooo pretty I forgave it. Maybe it will improve and I won't know whether it's b/c of the new medium or b/c I've quit stunting its growth with my negative vibes.

I couldn't believe you when you said multiflora/javanica has a nice smell, but luckily mine was blooming at the time, so I stuck my nose in there and... nothing. So, I REALLY stuck my nose in there and by the time I was practically inhaling the bloom in a most unbecoming manner, I caught the scent. And it is very pretty - perfumey.

LOVE the D. parasitica blooms! I like the long thin leaves, too and I can't wait to see this particular plant in person.

wow, it's beautiful. I'm going to have to add this one to my wishlist.

I also have a strong sense of smell, which can be a good thing when it comes to flowers, and a not so good thing when it come to other scents. lol
