8 inch Live PlantA night-blooming flower with a strong, sweet scent, this wonderful
Saturn
plant is a member of the Nightshade family (my favorite!), which has close associations with human beings in a large number of cultures across the world. The greenish-white flowers are insignificant in appearance, as we would expect from a Saturn plant, but they are probably the most powerfully scented flowers in the world. On especially warm evenings and on summer full moons (there's more than a bit of
Moon
to this plant--consider the name), their sweet, hypnotic scent, designed to attract pollinating moths, can be perceived up to 200 feet away. You can almost feel the scent in the air--it's very liquid in texture. Some claim that the scent can cause dizziness. Befitting its Saturn nature, this plant was used in funeral rituals in 19th-century Louisiana.
