[Regarding White Heliotrope]

Does it grow well as an indoor plant year-round? Or do you put it outside in the summer? (When does it normally bloom for you? )

It blooms year round. Has not stopped since I bought it. After Mother's Day, I put it on my large screened porch where it gets a bit of direct light and lots of indirect light. In Winter it is ~ 2 feet from a south facing window in either the Kitchen or Living Room.

[ Regarding Brunfelsias ...]

Ate either of these the same as the epiphyte Queen of the Night that blooms only at night? I first had the opportunity to see and smell one of those this past summer. It was beautiful.

No. Completely different genus. Brunfelsia. When the Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow blooms, it blooms for ~ 2 - 4 weeks and it does this several times a year. Queen of the Night is a cactus - Selenicereus grandiflorus or Cereus. Brunfelsia is a shrubby perennial.

[Regarding Peruvian Daffodils]

I had these a couple of years ago in my front yard but didn't realize they had a scent. I left the bulbs in the garage this past season instead of planting them. I wonder if they will survive an 18-month dormancy period. Maybe I will try planting them again in the spring just to see. They are a little bit of a passion here because the bulbs have to be dug back up at the end of the season. ...but they are beautiful

I don't know about the long term dormancy. They may have dried up. Have you looked at them?

Yeah - I dig up and store about 2 dozen different things. Not really that big of a deal and saves a heck of a lot of money. Shoot, I even dig up 4 o'clock tubers which have a bit of scent.
