Thanks all! Dot, I had to take the last two shot laying on my back facing upward in the backyard. Luckily, it is pretty densely planted. I'd hate to imagine what the neighbors would think

I'm glad yours smells so sweet. I gave mine away....not only were the blooms short lived, it smelled like a cross between stale beer and sweaty socks.....

That's a very light one compared to most I've seen. Very distinctive. I like it.

I have a compot of these guys growing nicely.
