Default Aceneta superba
This is my first blooming of this aceneta. It has a rather odd fragrance something like a mix of over cooked green beans, latex rubber and a suggestion of wintergreen.

Awesome! I've always wanted to grow one of these, but I believe they require cooler conditions than I can provide.

I'm a sucker for hanging spikes! Beautiful acineta! May need to find room for this one too!

Beautiful flowers. Sounds like it's worth growing for the fragrance alone =80

That is a weird olfactory experience. I wish I could smell it. Beautiful blooms though.
