Dracaena really in bloom

Previously, I posted pictures about my Dracaena deremensis blooming.  Well, truth be told, it hadn't actually bloomed yet.  The pictures I posted were just the flower buds - and lots of them!  I didn't realize that at the time.

Since then, the buds have been opening and filling my greenhouse with what can only be described as a controversial fragrance.  To me, it smells bad.  To some, it apparently smells good.  It actually smells a lot like some perfume fragrances that I don't care for, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that it does smell good to some people!

  2. My Dracaena deremensis is blooming now and is only really fragrant at night, it must be a night shade. It smells beautiful in my living room.
