For all the Neo fans here on OB. I love this plant enough to name it after my dear dog, Cosmo, who had curly hair.

This is the first time it's bloomed in Fall, always putting on a big show in May. This monster plant measures 18 in (about 46 cm) diagonal width and sits in a 4" teak basket placed in an 8" one. I have two other varieties, Amami Island and shutennou, also in bloom now. Supposedly the largest fukiran, the Amami Island is a few years younger and about half the size of this one. The three pics are front, side, and rear. I take it out of the tree and hang it by the back door so we don't miss the fragrance coming through an open window. Coconut cake, anyone?
