Ok, a few pics. Completely unedited (in case anyone wanted to know). I didn't feel like risking the wrath of my computer by running Photoshop, the fan kicks into overly loud overdrive when I do, needs repair :(

It is perfuming my whole room, and is particularly nice when the fans for my plant shelf and orchids kick in.

Quinnfyre,I bet your room smells nice.I was given a stephanotis about 2 years ago and it hasn't really grown much but I just found what looks like a peduncle so may be I will get to see flowers this year.
I love your photos by the way.

That is just lovely. I had been trying to ignore your last post about the stephanotis, in an attempt to avoid temptation, but I suppose it's too late for that now. You're right, it does seem like the best of both worlds. It looks almost like an australis at a glance, which I think has such classic elegance. Like it belongs at a wedding.

Sorry about your ongoing computer woes. At least it doesn't roar at you all the time.

I vote you get one. It is totally worth it. The flowers are still going strong, and it alternates between smelling somewhat hyacinth-like to smelling a lot like this tuberose lotion I got from Bath and Body Works. I think lacunosa is adding its fragrance to the mix now and again, as well. I don't think they're close to blooming at all, but calycina and australis ssp. tenuipes also live in my room. If they all bloomed at once... well, that could get interesting ;)

My computer is a cranky one, indeed. I'm hoping a fan replacement does the trick. I'm just afraid to take it in though; it involves carting around with me on two buses and probably leaving it with them for a little while, during which I am completely computerless. Also, I'm afraid (for no particular reason) that it will not end up being as simple as a fan replacement. Ah well. I need to figure it out sooner rather than later.

It's going on my list! I feel like such an idiot saying it reminds me of something that belongs at a wedding. And then I look it up and find that its common name is 'bridal bouquet.' >_>;

Your fan replacement diagnosis is extremely likely. I don't know how many times I've been down that road. It's always the fans. That said, I'm the. same. way. about avoiding bringing my computer in. :3 Also, about getting my teeth checked.

LOL, I, too, had been avoiding this as I don't need to add to my list of wants... It really is beautiful!

Good luck with the computer....ugh....

Hey a computer fan is the least expensive part to have to fix, well laptops are a pain but desk tops are no problem.

I had a cutting of this plant but I sold it. There was a clothing store here that had a huge plant growing along their front window all twined around some iron work and it looked beautiful and bloomed often.

That's an inspiring image, Mike. Thanks for sharing.
