    One of my favorites! The flowers last about a month and they smell like cloves. It's from Colombia where it grows around 2200-2400 m.

    Good to know. I never thought to smell it. I was told it was an intermediate grower. I'll have to try a piece cooler. Thanks.

    It doesn't seem to want to take a selfing.
