I got this flower at the Oak Park Farmers Market on Saturday for one dollar. It's called a tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa). It's just like one of those fireworks you see in the sky on the 4th of July. You know the ones where, when you're ahh-ing you have to break into an oooh because there's like an entire chain of more fabulous explosions? Same for this. Just when you think the stem has released it's last puff of fragrance? You get another one.
Pretty cool for a buck.
Thanks farmers.
