darry to the rescue...




while at work one day, darry saw a large plant being hauled out to the trash.  he thought it looked nice and that it was a shame to see it going into the dumpster so he brought it home to me.  it was obvious that the plant had been neglected so we gave it a fresh pot of dirt and some water then we placed it near a window for some sunlight.  after a few weeks, we noticed that it had grown, all over were leaves and at the top, what we suspected were flowers.  then the other night, i could not get over the perfume that i was sure that the girls had been using.  it was so strong it was beginning to give me headache, the scent of lilies and jasmine and it was all over the upstairs of the house.  then i went over to the plant and discovered that the little flowers packed the most scent i have ever experienced in a plant.  it is a dracaena fragrans or a corn palm, and they are night bloomers, during the day the scent is not evident, but at night, watch out!
