Thanks Kylie!

Can you tell me a little about it?
Gets big?
Stays smaller?
Smells a lot?
A little?
Takes full sun all day?
Afternoon shade?

My CG grows fast but doesn't smell much.

White suavs do well in the heat. I also have the temple goddess and it did good too.

Sultry, thank you

I'm new to this and don't know the lingo.
What is "suave"?

I tried looking up as many as I could on the internet last night.
Right now, I sorta leaning towards "cypress gardens".
From what I read, it can be trained smaller, blooms at a small size, and does great in pots.

I have a spot on a top shelf in the shade house where I might be able to train it to hang down.

Tell me what you guys think?

Corrie TG stays medium height 4~5' and blooms repeatedly. It bloomed in the house but I don't recall it being over whelming like a lot of them are..

Thanks Kylie, I'm going to try that one too.

I have room for several in the shade house. I know, there's no such thing as room for only one plant. Can't be done.

I just found "suaveolens", now I know that word at least. I read that it's in the parentage of CG, and gives CG more heat tolerance.

Now I don't know what names to look for that have suav in them. LOL

I'm learning

And I need to find someone with rooted cuttings of Temple Goddess and Cypress Gardens, and a couple of other whites that I can play with.

It's fun learning about new plants! and our weather has finally cooled off and I have the yard bug again!

Thank you all, you're great
Corrie

I'm just putting this on here so I don't forget. ;-)

nice choice! I've got a huge temple goddess that I'll be cutting down in a few weeks that I can send you some good cuttings of. she's one of my favorites, I love the perfectly reflexed tendrils on every bloom and lovely light citrus fragrance, and I think she's the heaviest and most reliable bloomer I've got, too. so I love sharing her :)

I'd need reimbursement for postage though as I just had to pay a $400 delinquent electric bill that was dumped on me by someone who simply didn't feel like paying anymore, a week after my boy was in a serious car accident that totaled the 88 accord that we share, and I don't even have a job right now. great times, heh.

also let me know if you're searching for any other brugs, I have maybe a dozen and a half that I'll be cutting back. you can email me at tehriaz@gmail_DOT_com.

I just thought of another one that does fantastic in the heat. Antique Lace. It has tons of petite bell like flowers with a nice fragrance. The white flowers fade a little with a slight beige tint thus the name Antique White. The hawk moths love this one.
The antique lace is in the front on the left in this photo.

I love the shape of Antique Lace!!!

Thanks, me too. It is really a short petite flower. It looks long in the pic for some reason.

Great looking brugs Lenette!
