    Plumeria 'Gold Coast Peach' is finally starting to open under the T5 lights in my bedroom. A light Coconut/suntan lotion scent inside.

    Great job Robert! My plumeria is outdoors and is dormant right now with only 1 leaf on it. It didn't bloom this year, but it put out a bunch of new branches. It seems to choose between flowering or branching every year.

    Fragrant, beautiful orchids! Very nice job. My Bullara redland sunset that just threw out a spike and some buds despite 2 nights in the 30s so I'm happy about that. And my Dendrobium spectabile pushed out the start of a spike, it's only a couple of cm long, I can't wait! I've heard so much about how it's really difficult to bloom so I'm beyond ecstatic. Great pics everyone!

    Thanks, Tom! I just wish Gold Coast Peach smelled as strongly and wonderfully as it does outside but it's only lightly scented inside.

    I'm delighted that my Pelargonium 'Angel's Perfume' has put out a couple of lovely colorful blooms. I can rub the leaves to get a nice lemon scent. :)

    Robert, that's too bad! It must just prefer outdoor conditions. At least it's blooming! Mine didn't the last year. I hope it will this spring/summer

    Imagine my surprise when I realized I almost missed this! Had to take a few pictures so I could immediately show you guys. A few days ago nary a bud in sight, now it's covered in flowers even though some are already starting to fall off. At least I got a picture! Smells divinely sweet up close, not much waft :) The tag is labeled as "Osmanthus #3"

    Hard to photograph too! Did I mention it's 82 degrees outside? It's been "unseasonably warm" this January!

    I have osmanthus in bloom indoors. They are so pretty! You are so lucky Tom 82 degrees..! We are lucky that this whole week we have temps in upper 40's though cloudy and raining. Atleast no snow :)

    A blooming luculia, finally! Got this little guy growing on my office window sill. Sweet and flowery. Smells nice but I wouldn't say it smells better than a gardenia or a sambac. :D

    Fragrant, would you mind if you took pics of the growing area? I would like to see what kind it is and if I could do the same..It seems to me you are not using a greenhouse and having great success without the use of high humidity..I would love to close my greenhouse down and just stick those on a window sill and I have many of the plants you have..Is that what you do, use a sunny window? Do you block the harshest sun rays out in spring? That is one huge nice Oncidium and must smell heavenly! Mines is almost that big and they are one of my favorites...All of mine are in a greenhouse. I would love to grow one on a window sill..

    Tom, you must of had a nice drop of your temps to trigger that so fast. Good for you! It must smell so good with added humidity in your area..I'm jealous...If I lived in your area, I would be planting a Citrus Tree, 'Orange Osmanthus, and a Michelia Champeca right into the ground. not to say hang a few orchids in the tree and plant every kind of Palms I could think of..lol
