One of my most favorite plants and my feeble attempt at something resembling macro photography.
Part of why I love the plant is based on a story I have been told of the plant/tree my great-grandmother had in her garden... and how my mother and aunt would sit in the tree with little pipes (yes, you read that right) that my great-grandmother had fashioned for them using the flower and a straw... I just love the plant, and hope to be able to plant one myself soon. I had bought a pair of them, just before being put on bed-rest and when able to walk again, I found them dead... and while worth losing them, I am still a little sad I had not taken the time to bring them in with me, to keep me company on those horribly long days... a way to bring my ancestors in to my experience, I guess.

Love that photograph
Well, I took the picture on the third so I suppose that would be my answer.
I am not sure how frost hardy they are, but there is not much snow or frost where I live (and if there is frost, it it usually known about well in advance so one can go "tuck-in" (what I call covering them) the plants at night.
we have a new scent coming out called midnight pomegranate...i've never really smelled the plant. but our scents are usually pretty realistic. maybe you'd like it.
Nettie - that sounds really cool. I can't wait for it to come out!
Beautiful photo.
