Very pretty!

Wow. All those flowers? And it's fragrant? That sounds awesome.

What's the fragrance like? We don't have many pleuros in this area, with our hot summers, they're incredibly difficult to grow so it's rare for me to see them in person.

Thanks, Nikki and Mr. Happy. The fragrance is rather sweet. I'm not very good with fragrances but it reminds me of lilies.

Excellent, Ron! Though it would be pushing it with my conditions, I'd definitely consider giving this one a try should I find one priced in my modest range..

Nikki, I have read that it has a fragrance reminiscent of lily-of-the-valley.

Hope you find it, Paul. If you don't let me know and I'll send you a piece of mine. I should be repotting it in the near future.

Very nice! I like the flower and the mottled leaves.

Thanks again, friend.

Thanks, Ron!I'll just have you dog-ear that puppy for me now.
(Hmm, I need to check and see if I might have any 'shrubbery' to offer in trade ........)

It's not a big deal, Paul. Just remind me in a few weeks and I should have taken care of it then. Just so busy right now that I don't have time.
