I will start reproducing a butterfly (Greta otto) whose larvae feed from different species of Cestrum. So several days ago during night time there was an incredible fragance around the house. I thought it was coming from the flowers of a tree Croton draco located near the house. But then I found out that I had C. nocturnum besides C. lanatum. Lucky me!! During the day there is no a strong odor.
