The scent 🤤🤤🤤 #phlox #night-scented-phlox #zaluzianskya-capensis #night-phlox-midnight-candy #grown-from-seed
A #fragrant plant I have never seen available where I live...
Sounds lovely💕
They look lovely can't wait for mine to flower although not a sign of a flower yet. thanks for the seeds I've been wanting to grow them for years 😀
@emch can’t say I’ve seen it as a plant but seeds are easy to find, and grow 😂
@crabby58 the smell really is beautiful. Vanilla but not too sweet. It’s just gorgeous 😋
@kez001uk I used to see them in the T&M catalogue, back when I had no garden at all, but now that company seems to have pulled out of the USA entirely...
@alan1111 you should get flowers this year and they seem to come from nowhere 😜 you’re always welcome 😘
@emch I had no idea they shipped to USA 😮 a lot of places won’t ship outside of U.K. since Covid & brexit affected shipping so much. Hopefully it’ll start up again soon. But if you ever want any seed, feel free to ask 😁
Oh, T&M not only used to ship here, they also had big seed displays in some of the nurseries! They left well over 5 yrs ago so Covid is not a factor...I would love to swap seeds! I can be reached at eileenmchenry269@hotmail.com
@emch and you don’t even get their seeds over there anymore? I’ll send you an email now so you have my email address 😁
@gjones the most edible scent I’ve come across. And the plant survived the horrid frosts we had so must be a strong one. I’ll be saving seed if you ever fancy trying them ☺️

Back from last year 🤍 #phlox #night-scented-phlox #zaluzianskya-capensis #night-phlox-midnight-candy #grown-from-seed
Hmmmm my one of those hasn’t come back either...🤔
#fragrant
So pretty and love the name. 🤍💗😍
@sharonhayden hopefully it’s just a little slow because of the vile weather 😝
@emch smells so good! Make sure I get a whiff every night 😅
@hkyfvr it’s perfectly named isn’t it 😛 they do look edible when they’re open at night 😋
Almost like radish roses. You will have to go out for a nighttime sniff every night. 😄😍 @kez001uk
@hkyfvr I make sure I do 😋 needs moved to a more convenient place though 😅
Great photo you've captured it beautifully. Did you leave it out over winter or did you bring it in
@alan1111 thanks Alan 😁 it was left out all winter so am surprised it survived after bad frosts we’ve had
It must have been in a microclimate that protected it from the worst of the weather. Remember that spot for next year 😉 the seeds you gave me are doing well great germanation. Lots of them 😆 out of all my seeds they did the best.

The back is almost prettier than the front!
I agree...what a lovely flower!
@lesliecole49 I agree! The back is such a deep red ❤️ and they smell gorgeous too 😋
@italydiva thanks Angela 😀 they’re so tiny so hope I can grow a few more next year for a better display 😜
@cyndi thank you Cyndi 😃 smell as good as they look too 😋
These are new to me. Interesting 👍
@cyndi reminds me of a sweeter smelling Daphne. Bit like fruit loops & loads of vanilla 😋😋 I’ll save you seed 😁
@jeatacake I’ll save you some seed 😛 they don’t look like much in the day but worth it for the scent alone 😋
Oh brilliant thanks Kerry. It'll be very interesting to try them 😊
@cyndi of course 😛 hoping I can notice them as I thought they were dead already 😂 problem with dark coloured night flowers 😜
@jeatacake my pleasure ☺️ have to find out if they’re perennial before I go weeding them 🤣
Can’t get over how many flowers are one one plant 😜 #phlox #night-scented-phlox #zaluzianskya-capensis #night-phlox-midnight-candy #grown-from-seed
Can you remember the little flowered hairbands we use to wear as kids....these bring back those memories the flowers were just like them......maybe you’re too young...😊
Lovely❤️
I bet the scent is amazing in the evening 😍😍😍
Beautiful scented flowers 🤍🤍
Very impressive. Is that the one that made it through the winter? Mine are doing great, nó sign of a flower yet
@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom I’m from the banana clip era but would have much rather had flowery hair bands! 😂
@zephyrwindsong thank you 😁
@pelly it really is but makes me hungry for sugary stuff 😂
@hkyfvr they’re gorgeous in Emery way 🤍
@alan1111 thanks Alan ☺️ this is the very one 😛 it’s huge now so will hopefully fill the pot before long 🤞🏻 I’m glad they’re doing well. You should get flowers late in the season 😋
They most certainly are. 👍❤️😍
