Stephanotis - "Marital Happiness"


When you walk into the Stephanotis greenhouse on Skyline's farm in Nipomo, you feel like you're in heaven.  It smells breathtaking, it's a sweet smell that's not too strong.  

It's also amazing to see the vines that produce the small but beautiful and fragrant, white flowers.  What makes them unique, most of the flowers on our farms are planted in the ground or in pots but not these.  There are rows of vines throughout the greenhouse which allow the stephanotis to bloom.  Inside, you will find warm and humid conditions which are ideal for this fragrant flower.

They are a popular component of bridal bouquets and boutonnieres.  Along with it's white beauty, it said to symbolize "marital happiness."  It's also associated with luck and prosperity.
