C. gaskelliana and C. purpurata var. werkhauseri
Two very different unifoliates flowering in my windowsill right now.
The C. gaskelliana has a fragrance of hyacinths, but unlike the C. warscewiczii, there is nothing to detract from the olfactory impression.
My C. purpurata var. werkhauseri just opened, and it doesn't have any discernible fragrance yet. It's similar to the hybrid C. Shipbuilder's Oatmeal Stout (which is 75% purpurata after all) to the point where I might consider if I really need to have both taking up space. The bluish purple of the hybrid is superior, and the plant as a whole is more manageable in size, while the pure species has a better flower shape.
