    This one has been very slowly opening for days: teasing me no end. It is almost there and I could not resist to take pictures

    Man, that is a wonderful green. I am guessing it is fragrant too?

    Boy was I wrong regarding the scent: must have been because the flower was not yet fully open.

    It has an intense and agreeable scent: hard to define, but a mixture of spearmint, eucalyptus and pine. Very intense. Like your ideal bath salt (-:
