Very nice orchdsarefun! My 3 years of blooms with this one indicates that they aren't fragrant, at least the one I have.

regarding fragrance - that is good to know because this is the first time blooming for me and I wasn't sure if the fragrance developed later. Everything I have read about it online says they are fragrant - lemon scented.
Maybe my nose can't detect the scent !

Interesting! I had never personally heard of them as being fragrant, but what do I know, lol... I do know I've had mine in morning direct sun before which usually seems to draw fragrances out a bit stronger, but still got nothing, lol... Maybe mines a dud? ROFL... Still a keeper though in my book!

I got it at our local Society auction and tidied it up, as much as you can with these, and ended up planting 6 broken stem sections. They all grew; it takes about 6 weeks to get new growth. And 2 of these new growth have put up flower stalks !
I like it because it is not at all fussy and grows well in shade.....and will eventually make great gifts.
