Ok, yesterday it had many blooms. I didn't get the chance to take a pictures. Apparently its only in bloom in the afternoon to night time. By the next morning the blooms are dead. I'd like to get some fruit though. Any ideas how to pollinate? I tried ripping one flower off and putting the anthers on the styles of several flowers by positioning it. The styles are apparently not sticky and I could simply put the pollen on. Oh well.
I almost cut off the whole thing because my finacee was severly allergic to the fragrans. But she would not let me. She is completely selfless.
