Default Bl. Morning Glory 'H&R'

Got this at the orchid show last spring... it has TRIPLED in size! I can't believe it! The only thing is that it perfumes the entire house at night and it smells like a funeral home!!! Kinda neat, yet kinda gross...!

Beautiful!! Is it one of those that change color as the blooms age?
As for the odor, I have no idea what a funeral home smells like. Overbearing floral fragrance you mean?

They are some of my favorite hybrids. Filling my home with that fragrance would be something I could for sure live with!
Good growing,
Tony
