Blooming in August '19
Hi everyone! August just started and I already have a few nice blooms! What's blooming for you?
Brugmansia 'Dalai Lama' has one lone bloom holding up well to the sun and rain.
Audrey Lea bloomed the most in the heat but got battered by the rain.
Coryanthes macrantha smells like black licorice but wasn't as fragrant as reported. I obsessed with the bloom and its colors.
Hoya wibergiae is fragrant at night. Sugary scent. Smelled like hay when it first opened but developed nicely.
Hoya pubicalyx 'Royal Hawaiian Purple' is a blooming machine. Smells nicely fragrant when you walk up to it, but if you stick your nose in the flowers it has an unpleasant chemical smell.
Epiphyllum oxypetalum never disappoints. Gorgeously fragrant at night like aqua and sunscreen. One of my favorite plants hands down.

Hi Tom! I miss everyone. I wonder if they all will be back once fall sets in and everyone is bored? Here are a few and I will try my best to name them.
Mock Orange
Grand Duke Jasmine
Honeysuckle, red flame and very intense, and pink for some reason. Second bloom and the first was orange and yellow.
Brugmansia and of course I can't remember the name, but one you suggested and described to the T.
Lillium, Oriental Lilly
Orchid
Dark Desire Rose
Gardenia

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoGreat pictures everyone! It smells wonderful in here. This is what is blooming now. Jasmine azoricum, Brunfelsia jamaicensis and lotus. Lotus smell like anise - a friend thinks they smell like Pepsi!
7 years agoWow what a gorgeous thread this has become!
Tom, your Hoya blooms are always plentiful, do you feed them? Always a treat to see your Hoyas.
Mike, Goodness all are fantastic blooms, well done. That honeysuckle makes one heck of a beautiful flower! You know I love that vanilla scented orchid, it will be a treat if it’s in bloom when I visit and one of few that I’d add to my collection.
Jeff, wow that lotus flower is stunning!
Sabut, very nice! I’m still waiting for my first Michelia Alba bloom, at this point I think the warm weather has past so doubt I’ll get a bloom.
Earlier when checking on my plants, there was a very pleasant fragrance kind of cinnamon & honey, anyways I just knew somewhere there were Hoya blooms, sure enough found my speckled Lacunosa had at least four blooms. I’m unable to do much last couple weeks with terrible hand eczema so I’ve been out of the loop and was happily surprised by them.
