Re: Wonga Wonga

That's kinda neat. By coincidence I went over to retail today to compare the scent of the bower vine {Pandorea jasimoides, if that's spelled correctly] flower with the scent of the Stephanotis flower. Bower vine is nice, but somewhat faint, Stephanotis is much stronger.

I'm trying to decide which I want to grow on a trellis to block the sun from the west windows of the back porch [Florida room]. And since the bower vine blooms nearly all year here, that's the way I'm leaning.

As though to clinch the deal, during my inspection I found and plucked a ripe seed pod from one of the bower vines. Now we'll see if I can hatch them.
