Here is one of my 2009 seedlings. I've posted a picture of its first bloom elsewhere showing the cut petals. In this flush the flower is much larger in contrast to most of my other seedlings, whose blooms tend to be on the small size. I've compared it with Ecuador Pink to give an indication of its size.

It looks very pretty when the tendrils curl up and its size makes it stand out. But what makes it a real keeper is the scent--an absolutely intense perfume. I have to take a cutting and find a spot for it closer to the house because it would rank up their with my white suaveolens for intensity of perfume.
