Night scented flowers

[Riz]

I picked these up from the seed rack in Wilkinsons.. night scented so i germinated them today in a clay pot.. takes 14-28 days to germinate so it says on the back of the pack.. lets just see :)

i was in the seed store today and picked up a picked up 2 packs of night scented flowers... scattered the seeds in two clay pots..you get over 1600 seeds per pack for 98 pence, bargain !!!! still have lots of seeds left over and i will stagger my flower grow and maybe germinate more seeds later on in the month..

they dont seem to have a name just "night scented stock" LOL

dandelions from the back of the garden have floated and germinated in the pots with the flower seeds inside it, now am not sure what has sprouted the dandelion seeds or my flower seeds LOL. gonna have to do some investigation into this predicament.. :D

so today i started all over again and got rid of the small seedlings,and started all over again with fresh compost.. i put a plastic bag over the pots this time no other dandelions can float inside it LOl....

wow

really impressed with the fast germination within one week, i guess the plastic bags over the top helped :)

I've planted these this year as well, my SIL did them last year and they smelt sooooo nice in the evenings! :cheerleader:

i sowed some last week in 3 pots and all have germinated, maybe i sowed too early still chance of night time frost but we shall see, and yes they are really really fragrant....

Have they flowered now Riz? They seem to be pretty big after only a month masha'Allah. Do you reckon I'd be able to sow them in July?

MashAllah that is a beauty! And very inspiring aswell. I love it!

Hmm i think july is way to late, may was probably the cut of point..

they have not flowered yet, they will soon maybe next few weeks, but i tell ya the fragrance is absolutely amazing in the evenings, the little pinkish flowers arnt the best looking in the world but the fragrance really really makes up for it. when i first grew them i forget all about them and i use to walk in the garden and smell the fragrance i used to think i wonder where that smell is coming from having totally forgotten about them, then it dawned on me it was theses flowers :)

Ah, that sucks. I could always buy some ready-growns :D

[Riz]

sorry about quality of pics, these pinkish flower are so fragrant, unbelievable smell in the evenings..
