Thank you that is incredible

Since you had the pleasure of being out there when they produce there scent, I'm sure took a whiff. Could you discribe the scent?

chrisaggie 06-04-2008 11:01 PM

The scent is a mild soapy/clean smell. The smell is much stronger near dusk and at night. I guess this makes since because the moth needs to smell the flower at dusk and night. :)
