@riakat glad you like flower, I must say the fragrance is not strong, like a jasmine, but when you get close it is much more elegant than anything I've smelt. It has lots of layers to it. Difficult to put into words!! This plant is a dwarf version of the tree. You can keep this as a houseplant and it flowers when young. My plant is only a year old! 😃

@drnicko thanks for sharing this info. It sounds like it would be a wonderful addition to my houseplants! Will be on the lookout for it 😍
