	Mexican Tuberose Polianthes tuberosa by Dr. William C. Welch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Tuberoses are plants suitable for Zones 8 and 9, which bloom in late summer.
		Tuberoses were also mentioned in early accounts of horticulture in the Gulf states written by William Bartram.
		Tuberoses are still popular in Mexican gardens where they are called “Nardo” or “Azucena.” They have been grown commercially for florists and bulb distributors in the San Antonio area for many years and are sometimes available in garden centers during the spring.

	Enchanted Green: A Garden Path
		In India and Malaysia, tuberose is known as rat ki rani, [The Mistress of the Night] for similar reasons.
		Tuberose is tuberous in the sense that it grows from a bulb.
		In Ayurvedic medicine, attars like those made from Tuberose are held in high esteem not only for their exquisite fragrances, but for their healing properties.The richness and depth of Tuberose's sensual, floral scent is said to heighten senses and feelings-- a connection which perhaps affects what's known as the Svadisthana (sacral) chakra.

	Manfreda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Along with Polianthes, members are commonly called tuberoses; some authorities classify the Manfreda with Polianthes, while others group them with Agave.
		Like others in the agave family, tuberoses have rosettes of leaves branching from a very short stem, and flowers at the end of a long stalk.
		The Texas tuberose (Manfreda maculosa) is notable for having bright green leaves covered with purple spots.

	Southern Lady's-slipper Orchid
		Joe and Ann Liggio describe this species in their comprehensive reference: "Wild Orchids of Texas" as "perhaps the most spectacular of the 54 kinds of orchids in Texas." The Southern Lady’s-slipper Orchid is one of the 50 Lady’s-slipper orchid species found in Europe, Asia and North America.
		In fact, the word orchid is derived from the ancient Greek word "orcis" and the Latin word "orchis" and means "testicle," due to the shape of the bulb-shaped stems and oblong tuberose roots of many of the epiphytic orchids.
		Sponsorship at Mercer for the Center for Plant Conservation’s perpetual maintenance endowment for this rare native Texas orchid is needed.

	Night Owl Plants
		This plant will winter over with "norther" protection in the warmest areas of Texas but, for the rest of us further north, plan on it being annual or taken in the greenhouse for the winter.
		They are expensive because it takes up to 10 years before bulbs grown from seed are ready to sell, but they're indestructible and even the worst "brown thumb" won't so much as phase a crinum.
		Two other night blooming bulbs and tubers that are tops for scent are Mexican tuberose and butterfly ginger.

	The Fragrant Garden -- Texas Gardener
		Usually we design our garden with colors first, then textures second perhaps, but what if we planned our garden around fragrances?
		Not that we would throw out the color wheel but if we need a late summer white, why not think in terms of tuberose; or a conversation piece, chocolate flower (Berlandiera lyrata); or a shade providing vine, sweet autumn clematis?
		The hillsides smell of Mexican plum blossoms and grape scented Texas mountain laurel; the fields smell of bluebonnets and phlox; the grasses smell; the vegetable garden is sweet with the scent of peas, and the flower garden is at its peak.
