Beautiful! I have a small starter plant that I bought this year.
I can't wait to get my first bloom! I've heard this one has a great scent, takes the heat and has nice waxy blooms.
Thanks for sharing!

we've been in the high 80's low 90's here...the blooms hold up great because the corolla is thick and waxy
...and you are correct..it's one of my most fragrant brugs

Awesome news! It gets really hot in Tulsa, OK. :)

I'd love to hear your other most fragrant brugs!
Fragrance is why I'm growing them.

I would love a cutting, if you happen take any. I live in the high desert and the heat is unbearable at times.

Hi Cinnie,

I got my Butterfly from Katz Kuntry Kuttins.
I'm quite happy with my purchase from her.
