The blossoms were high enough that I couldn't detect any fragrance.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-88225573973306055672014-06-02T09:19:50.687-07:002014-06-02T09:19:50.687-07:00oh my goodness- thanks for sharing these magnifice...oh my goodness- thanks for sharing these magnificent photos- does it have a fragrance and does it attract birds or bees? Thanks to Stephen Hayes referring your blog - I've always wondered about the Century plant! <br />We have an Orchid Cactus that came from a start of a Grandmothers plant. It had never bloomed for all the years we've had it until this year- we think it's because we moved to a warmer, sunnier and dryer climate two years ago. You can see it here within this post just scroll down :<br />http://katheworsley.blogspot.com/2014/05/once-again-its-six-word-saturday-and.html<br />Cheers and thanks again!<br /> Kathe W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06781645436343424010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-49527283546552404352014-06-02T00:09:30.140-07:002014-06-02T00:09:30.140-07:00Super post and great photos.Super post and great photos.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16353373844105134032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-6913619064264090652014-06-01T21:41:22.444-07:002014-06-01T21:41:22.444-07:00Legend says it only blooms after one hundred years...Legend says it only blooms after one hundred years.
