Good morning, Roy - I admit that my indentification skills relative to flowers(among many other things) is rather limited but I still enjoy the many different colors, shapes, textures and aromas.

Roy,

Love these, and we even grew them at one time in Los Angeles.  They are lovely as your photo shows.  A

The Latin name for that plant sounds like something that would take a full course of Penicillin to heal!
