    I forgot about this pretty white flower that sprung up in my ferns last year. I have no idea what it is, but it smells lovely! The ferns are all cut back right now, so I got a good picture. Can anyone tell me what this is so I can research about it and learn more?

    Thank you in advance!

    WOW! That was fast!

    Thanks so much, I googled fragrent white flower and searched for an hour before finding this site, and get my answer in under 5 minutes. It took me longer to find my camera!

    Thanks again!

    If it's anything like our local species, you should not try to move it. These things seem to grow where they want to grow, and nowhere else.
