I saw Zantedeschia odorata flowering on Glenlyon Farm at Nieuwoudtville in
late August 2004, but don't recall the fragrance - so perhaps it isn't very
evident. What was interesting was that it grew only tightly wedged between
dolerite rocks: Neil McGregor, the owner, informed us that this was because
otherwise the porcupines would eat the tubers.
I've had a plant for years (grown from Silverhill seed) but it hasn't
flowered. It is very definitely a winter-grower.
