Dama de Noche

Dama de Nocha
It Really feels hot at the moment and looking back the temperature is up on last year. We think real killer is the humidity though, you know,you have a shower and you cannot get dry. Even sitting working on the PC the water is dripping down your back like a shower. When its like this its nice to take a stroll just as its getting dark and a little bit cooler. Billie our foster dog loves it too, though I am always on the look out for low flying bats!
What is amazing is how perfumed the air is. The sent of Jasmine seems to travel for miles. Our particular favorite is the a flower that grows in abundance around here, the Dama De Noche (Lady of the Night). The perfume from these flowers is just so beautiful, it really fills the night air with its sweet scent. Other times of the year you get the smell of orange blossom, sweet peas in cultivated plots and self-seeded into the wild. Its the simple thing in life that make living in Spain worthwhile and give us pleasure

I dont rent out any property,long or short term, but i understand there are plenty of pitfalls in either case.

The photo of your flowers is not La Dama de Noche. The photo is of a very nice smelling plant but not 'La Dama'.

This flower is definitely known here as Dama de Noche, maybe it has other names as well.
