Great photo RoyB & an excellent closeup. Just love Stargazer & their fragrance fills the entire garden doesn't it? I had them for one summer but in my zone they never return.

I just love these orientals, but they don't winter over here reliably... ah, but the wonderful scent and the beauty of them makes them tempting as annuals!

I planted two of these this spring - never came up. Perhaps the bulbs were dead when I got em. Willl try again next year, from a more reliable source. They were the last of the boxful. This is a lovely picture of them.

Great shot, RoyB. I planted two small bulbs a couple years ago, and this year, they had 15 blossoms between them. It was spectacular. And the smell was wonderful. Even one blossom in the house is heavenly.

Absolutely beautiful! Love the contrast in colors and excellent photography. You have to really appreciate nature when it's as beautiful as this.
