I am attaching three pictures of our cestum norstrum in houston. This plant is now about 3 ft and the leaves are rich green. The two problems are: there are no flowers, the heavenly beautiful fragrance is not there

Expert Response
Aamir:
I believe you have the correct plant (Cestrum nocturnum). The plant looks healthy, do you have it planted in an area that receives at least 8 hours of sun?
I think the issue is plant maturity. The plant isn't established enough to support flowering. Be patient, allow the plant to develop a good root system which will support top growth and result in the flowers and fragrance that you desire.
Thanks for the question.
