HAPPY GARDENING!


One single flower of the Joy Perfume Tree, relatively small (2-3 inches), fills the air with delicately sweet fragrance. On a warm humid night, the scent can easily be enjoyed several hundred feet away. People and every insect you can imagine are attracted to the blooms. These are flowers you don't have to "stick your nose in" as the scent exudes from the tree. However, you really can't stop sticking your nose into a flower over and over again. Nectar insects appear frantic, driven like drug addicts, bashing into each other to get to the heart of every flower on the tree.
