Ypsilandra thibetica.

Pauline who writes the great blog : leadupthegardenpathleft a comment on my post aboutZaluzianskyaand advert a favourite fragrant plant which she have sex . I thought I would save about it as it is an strange winter - flowering works with an exquisite perfume . Ypsilandra thibeticais a lump forming perennial which is quite raw to cultivation . It develop from rhizomes and has rosettes of long , thin leaves a bit like those ofLilium candidum . It is a shade loving flora and grows in forests in its native habitat in Tibet or Western China . The panicle of flower start of white and become lilac ; finally as they mature they rick pick . They remind me of bottle brushes . The scent is delicious ; a combination of violets and sarcococca . This industrial plant was new to me last year new and that is when this picture was taken . I was disquieted in casing it rise not to be hardy but it seems to be fine so far , it survive the tremendous winter we had last year . It is not out yet but I think it wo n’t be longsighted . It is surely something to look frontward to .

I think that I ’ve seen this mention on Pauline ’s blog in the past and it certainly looks one worth seeking out . I enjoyed your post and pic of the night scented stemma plus mollusc intruder and have grown this in the past . The scent is indeed perfectly delicious . I ’ve read that it ’s potential to take cuttings and overwinter but have not tried . I wish Pauline ’s idea of understand through seeded player catalogues backwards 🙂

I just photographed this one yesterday and it ’s available mail monastic order from a nursery here in Scotland . The one I shoot was grow next to a pinkish genus Corydalis though I could n’t get up close to it to notice its fragrance .

Is Ypsilandra chalk resistant or should I apply ericaceous compost ? ? ?
