Vanilla and coconut!!??? Nice. Stan. Malibu Seabreeze?

I thought stans were supposed to smell like... you know... unpleasant things.

In any event, she's a real looker - nice growing.

Thank you.

The e-bay vendor just described the fragrance as wonderful, which it is. I have read posts from other members describing their blooms as fragrant, but not pleasant. They had completely different plants though.

I hope mine keeps growing because when Stans fill out and bloom they can look quite spectacular. Mine has only 4 leaves now, but it should put out more bulbs within the next few months.
