Default Enc. rufa

The individual flowers are unremarkable in appearance, but when there's over 100 of them they do catch the eye. They have a heavenly tropical fruity scent that rivals a Passiflora incense.

Thanks. They do have an exceptional intoxicating fragrance and it envelops the entire shade house. Breezes generally rob me of enjoying the full impact of a scented chid, but this one packs a powerful punch.

Thanks, Bob. The following link has some photos and information about the structure of my shade house. I don't think it was mentioned in those posts, but we did use some type of galvanized aluminum braces for the roof.
