    Hi Roxanne!!

    Im Sorry for not posting the fragrance.. I know you love the different fragrances!! ;-). I do too!! This has a sweet cinnamon fragrance, but it changes., sometimes I can really smell it, sometimes I can't. I think mother nature has control.. Seems evening has it strongest fragrance. Looking for pollinators.... ;-)

    Thanks Wendi!! I am also pleased with this beauty., it is different from most pinks. Very unique..

    Here are Diana's notes on this one!!

    enjoy!!!

    ⢠Rachel's Cloud flowers are light pink with white blotches or cloud like appearance covering the entire face, petals moderately overlapped, fair texture
    and sweet spicy cinnamon fragrance. Highly recommended for its unique color and scent. Tahitian seedling of I believe Grove Farm from Kauai which was named by Andy Zukowitz of Aloha Tropicals after his daughter. It does start out darker and then the white almost cloud like marks show. It smells like a mild cinnamon and is 3 1/2âÂÂ. It produces many inflos so it stands out to the eye. It is a good brancher and seems very healthy.

    Here is another pic of this one!!

    Have a great night!!!

    Ok.. Lol. I copied the recipe...

    I think I go light the first time..

    Need to get the nerve.. I'm shaking now thinking about it.. But if it works like you say, I'll try.

    Birdie warned me to take it easy .. Lol. Thank you!!

    Hope you are well.. How are your babies? Been thinking of her and need to get up with Birdie. Miss her!! I'm Sure she has been bad just like me!! Lol

    But season Is almost over for me. I have one more month and then I wil start to focus on getting them ready to store.

    One problem... One back room turned into a reading room!! OMG? What am I going to do? I guess we will have to use it like a maze.. But I think hubby will have a say. So they will all have to go upstairs. My back hurts thinking about it., all except the big boy!,

    Thanks for the recipe. Did I say that I have Irish heritage. I can't handle spicy lol. Then I see all of that butter. Whoa.. Lol. I'll try. Lol. ;-).

    Have a great night!!
