I find that Twinkle is a very very over powering plant with a fragrance similar to cloves and ginger, if you were to snort them, especially in a warm bright enviorment. I dont know if you like that sort of thing but keep it somewhere where the smell wont make you vomit. Who is the red/orange?

Very nice selection of plants, i like them all except twinkle. Really i mean watch out you just dont know what kind of evil you are growing there.

My 'twinkle' has just started its bloom cycle and although I generally don't like strong fragrances, the sugar/spice odor is quite pleasant and not nearly as overwhelming as you might imply. There is a gentle fragrance in the room and only if right up against the plant in the morning do you get full strength...kind of like being in a pastry shop.
