Stick-Plant Flowering

To mark the annual flowering, beginning September, of my 30-year-old stick plant ( I never quite learned the real name or the scientific name of this hardy and weird looking plant), I'm posting these pictures ... The blooms exudes a rather strong perfumy scent, like dama-de-noche ... I've noticed that it exudes the scent only at night. This plant was given to me by a budding artist friend from UP way back in the early seventies, before she migrated to Canada . The only reason I can think of why this plant survived life with me for the past 30 years is that it's extremely low-maintenance ... like me, I suppose ...
