| Somehow I 'accidently' ordered this from Brad's Blooms since it's supposed to be highly fragrant. ;)
Does anyone know its growth habit? Does it stay fairly compact or does it turn into a huge tree? Does it bloom freely? The only thing I've found online is the mentioning of its great fragrance. It was a tossup between Phet Pachara, Kimi Moragne and Pink Pansy but knowing me I'll probably get at least one of the others. :) Any info would be helpful.

| Robert, I had one. Tends to be more dense or compact like Penang Peach, and yes it will grow into a tree but a dense one. The flowers need heat to bring out the Salmon orange cast in the flower. You will get many inflos but the inflos are not huge, more like Nebels Gold. |

| Yay! Thank you for the info. Looks like with proper pruning I can try to keep it more compact. What's your opinion on its scent if you don't mind me asking? -Robert |

| My Phet Pachara finally bloomed! Here's a pic of it the day before it fully opened. I love the dark yellows and pinks in the petals and buds. -Robert |

| And here's a pic today when it is fully opened. So far the scent is a light coconut scent but the humidity is low and the temperatures and sun light levels are low and it's been growing underneath fluorescent lights at night so I'm cutting it some slack. ;) I'm hoping the scent will get stronger. If not I'll wait until next summer! -Robert |

| I sniffed it tonight after work and it has a sweet perfume like scent. Smells great! Can't wait to sniff it on a hot and muggy summer night. :) -Robert |

| What a gorgeous shape! Looks like it'll be a long-lasting bloom, too. Wish I could smell it... |

| In heat the edges of the petal look pink/lavender. |

| Thanks, everyone! She continues to open more blooms. Jen, you're right! It does appear that the blooms are long lasting. :) -Robert |
