Cirrhopetalum--rosy colored and lightly fragrant

[ania]

Hi everyone,

I have been visiting the forum for some time now, but this is my first post here. Sorry for being silent for so long. Many of you I know from other forums. Greetings to old and new friends.

I have this cirrhopetalum growing happily in my kitchen window that finally decided to flower. It was labeled Cirr. lepidum, but it doesn't look like it. The flowers are the right shape but much darker. Either there is a great variation in color, or it was mislabeled. If anybody knows what it could be, please let me know. It has a very light fragrance if you stick your nose very close to the flowers. Kind of peasant floral fragrance.

I like it, but I am not wild about it. It is one of my candidates for trade.
