Leptotes bicolor
I've been growing this for five years, and now it has become a nice specimen. 
One thing of note is its rather peculiar timing of fragrance. It emits powerful raspberry-like scent only during the early morning, around 6 am; after 7 am, the fragrance gradually weakens and it is almost gone after 8 am. |

What a fantastic looking plant!! I hope mine will look like that some day. I got it last year and it's growing a couple spikes right now.
I see that the leaves are very purple, are you giving it a lot of light?

Yes, it sits, or rather hangs, right at the south facing window with only double-pane glass between it and the sun (that's about 75% of light coming through the window). I was bit worried at first, but as you can see, they are doing just great. During summer, I move it a little bit further from the window to reduce the amount of the sunlight though. |

WOW!! that is an impressive specimen! I got one last fall, it is still pretty small (about 7 leaves) but put up its first 3 flowers for me about two weeks ago.
