Well, as long as there's no magic kool-aid involved, I'd be more than happy to join your cul- I mean, religion. It's only a cult if the leaders are deceiving he people, right? Right? And the wise and noble Prophetess of the Fairies would never deceive us, right? RIght? 
(I wonder how many people will laugh at me simply for the perceived irony.)
Create a seperate topic and I'm in! If that's allowed, haha

If I actually believed that stuff, it would still be a deception, but not an intentional one. At least I think so, it's not like anyone can DISprove the Fairies and Pixies who live in my flowerpots, can they? I better shut up, or everyone's going to think I'm serious and start asking me for evidence, and I wouldn't blame them one bit.

Kichi, you are not ready to hear all yet. You must prove yourself even further by sending rare tropical fragrant flower seeds as tithe to an ordained Prophetess of the Fairies, and then you will be shown the next level of vegetative knowledge. There are many wonderful levels so that you won't run out of goals to achieve. Yikes, I'm going to stop there because I'm feeling dirty like a preacher or something. I need a shower.
Here's a quick, and maybe spammy link to my garden plans for the place I'm moving to next weekend. http://www.scentednectar.com/condo/ Ignore the part about Michelia champaca though, since the seeds didn't sprout because I fucked up by not planting them immediately upon arrival. I'll order more and try again next year. In this new place, I'll finally be able to have my dream garden. Tons of south windows and a huge balcony. The building I'm moving is about 75% Hindu from Sri Lanka I'm told, which is an interesting coincidence since M. champaca is said to be sacred to Hindus and Jains. Also, 3 unusual food herbs I'm growing are used in Sri Lanka (pandanus, lemongrass and curry leaf), so I'm going to have lots of people to give away cuttings and seeds to, I'm thinking.

Sooooo beautiful!! and the fragrance!! I grew that once years ago. The fragrance was quite strong. I think I like it enough to grow it again, but reserving of course, the right to become a herbacidal maniac on any plant who displeases my olfactory bulbs. I killed off a really beautiful Passiflora 'incense' years ago when the odor reminded me of someone with some sort of sickness smell covering it up with a crappy 'sweet' smell. Ugh. The I. alba though, if I grow another, I'm not sure whether I might start to like or hate the scent more than the neutral I felt. It's on my thinking-about-it list. Do you have Pandanus trees where you are??? I have two plants, quite young, and I know I'll be able to use the leaves for flavouring, but I'm really hoping that one is female and one is male, so that there will be fruits from the female, and frequent fragrant flowers from the male someday.

I have T.asiaticum ‘Mandanianum’ on my list for this summer, but I haven't smelled any of the Trachelospermums yet. I had a T.jasminoides that hadn't flowered yet some years ago, which I lost in the great landlord changes windows in dead winter episode! Lost about 20 rare ones, most originally ordered from Logees in the US at a fairly large price.  I smelled a Stephanotis years ago, seeing one in flower in a plant shop, but the scent was so mild and ordinary (to my nose) that I wasn't too interested. That, plus if I remember correctly, it needs some sort of colder temps to trigger flowering than I could provide for it indoors. You have these things growing as weeds around you????? I'm soaring past envy into jealousy land!

Toronto, in cold frigid Canada, the land that many Americans still think have most people living in igloos. Most of my planned garden will be in containers, indoors in the colder months, but maybe outside on the balcony in our heat wave summers.

My nose would give its right arm to be caused merry hell by wild Acacias! I smelled one in a greenhouse years ago and I liked it, unless that was a Genista maybe? I mix those up sometimes. Whatever, I'm still jealous.

Nice! I hope to join in the botanical bliss when my new collection builds over the next year. One of the ones I lost years ago was a M. figo. It had a single bloom that appeared just after potting it up and the scent was amazing. Where do you live that you get to have a garden full of these things? And by where, I mean the specific address for the taxi to drop me off at when I invite myself for a week or a year of being 'the guest who wouldn't go leave our garden'.
