Lin, that begonia has a very soft, light fragrance, but lots of it - only in the mornings though. Sometimes I'll come outside and the perfume will be wafting 40ft. down the pathway from where the plant is hanging. It's a vigorous grower and a prolific bloomer, too. I first saw it in Grand Cayman. They had planted it behind a low hedge, and in its sprawling nature, it had draped itself over the hedge so beautifully!

Lovely plummies, Gigi. The star-shaped ones are very elegant. I have one more plumeria just started to bloom, but I'm very disappointed in it, no fragrance!
Plumeria Pudica, nice glossy foliage with an interesting shape that doesn't get the rusty fungus, nice crisp white flowers. Another white begonia, same type.

Couple more Caladiums, Scarlet O'Hara is quite muted in color right now but I might move her to more light to see how that changes. Carolyn Wharton was a grab bag start from Costco. She gets a lot more pink and less green in more light.
