We were also told it might be the sugar cane which definitely is blooming now.<br /><br />Anyway, on my next walk I'm going to pay attention to the dracaena plants, take some photos, sniff the air and I'll let you know what I find.Diana Miskellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02546520587903079967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313968083105494075.post-78891953973515513242011-12-08T14:36:00.648-06:002011-12-08T14:36:00.648-06:00Hi!

To the best of my (limited) understanding of all things Costa-Rican, it's the 'corn plant' Dracaenna fragrans, which is blooming like crazy right now, which has this heavenly scent. I was told that they're blooming more heavily than usual this year, hence the overwhelming perfume. And they're used as living fences, so they're everywhere. I'm not positive, but it makes sense, since, as you said, coffee berries are harvested right now, so there shouldn't be any blooms, right? Unless it all happens simultaneously?Photolera Claudinhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945880057490555695noreply@blogger.com
