No fragrance. Never heard of this species being fragrant. I has produced a second lead and I'm hoping for several more when it starts into growth again.

Hope it does, too, Bud, and that you're able to post some pictures.

Really pretty. Interesting about the flower increasing in size after opening. I've noticed that on happening on one of my phals that has quite large flowers, but I don't notice it on others.

This one increases dramatically, Rosie. It starts out about the size of a 10p coin and when fully mature is at least four times that size. Thanks for commenting and looking.

Wow! That's gorgeous Ron. Congratulations.

Cheers.

Thanks, Jim, though the congratulations probably should go to the plant and not to me.

Gorgeous!

Thanks, as always, Sonya.

I love the way you're growing that. Looks pretty happy too.
