This plant always outdoes itself in the summer

I was never a fan of the suaveolens brugs, always loved the versicolors, but this one has really stolen my heart. I now have three of them in my yard because it's such a reliable bloomer. This one is blooming and the other two have buds.

And the fragrance! I cannot even describe how amazing it smells when I walk out into the garden at night.

Sultry, I think it's Frosty Pink too. It was given to me as a NOID, she didn't even remember what color it was, but I'm pretty sure it's FP, because of how frequently and floriforously it blooms, and the size of the blooms.

I'm telling you, this one and the Charles Grimaldi blooming together have the most heavenly fragrance!

Beautiful, DG. IS it still blooming or does the rainy weather quell it? How much sun is needed to get your great result?

Irma, it just bloomed again, even MORE beautiful, then the heat today fried all the blooms. Brugs can grow in sun or shade. Some like more sun, some like more shade. This one gets morning sun and afternoon shade.

Bea, I have one that isn't happy at all, and babies that seem like they will never grow. Since they're seedlings, I'm anxious to see what kind of flowers they have.
