This is what it's all about!! A night fragrance, so sweet the air!

It was nice to see Robb Rosser's article on Terra Nova Nursery in today's rag Home and Garden!! Dan is one great source of information and I have had the honor to tour their nursery. Matter of fact this is one of their creations that they have allowed me to test. We emailed each other today when I sent him my photos and reported on how she was doing!! I do hope they will consider releasing this one, she is so fragrant and breath taking!!

[karma]

Here she is this am and you thought she would stay yellow?? Nope!!

Here is our hybrid as she opened two nights ago and the next set of photos were of her in the morning.

B. Rosea, opened last night. What heavenly fragrance! I missed taking photos of the B. Double White so I'm waiting for the second flush. We are seeing signs of others in the back starting to bud out.

Another one of our lovely ladies of the night! On this one you can see the wind damage on the Calyx which had to be cut so the Corolla tube would drop undamaged. I have some now that won't drop and when we open our front gates will here is what the front one looks like in full bloom minis the leaves.

Thanks but here is what it looks like today after 3 weeks of dealing with the fence being down. I had a friend stop today to show off my beautiful yard and the huge brug collection that fills the back yard and the poor folks about fainted when they saw the damage. The last 5 sitting in the corner, we hope are protected enough and they are in bud, so we are in hopes of saving them.

Lets hope you can finish that fence to help protect what you have left.

[karma]

But Buff, the fence is on our property!! What can one say now??

[Waterbuffalo]

Well you filed your lawsuit about the neighbors fence.. Lets see how things turn out in the next turn of events.. Next step is they are going to have to be served.

Fall is the time that these really put on the show if one properly takes care of them all summer. But again we did have some help in not keeping most of them going but those we did manage to move out front to a protective area are putting on a show. This one is one of 'ours' and we are crossing her with a reverse variegated as one of her parents is a variegated one.
