Yes, and you are lucky!

None of mine produced a flower at all yet and it's already fall..Very discouraging!

I've been waiting for my Single Mexican variety to bloom. I fear I planted mine too late though. Wish I had the problem of them smelling too strong! Laugh.

Hi ,

I personally LOVE the fragrance of the Tuberose!!! it might be my favorite of all and I would love to smell it at my door every evening.. Mmmmm!!!

Here is a pic of mine this summer. I planted two containers and I had blooms in each.. I was pleased.

You should be happy to have the fragrance... I would give anything to have them be so powerful...

Lucky you!! ;-)
