I think you actually have gone insane.

Bubble gum scent. Mmmm...
I would probably try to eat the flower incase the taste matches the scent.
Beautiful bloom and color!

The plant is very small. In a seedling pot. The cane which the flower is on is about 8 inches long.
The scent is a cross between raspberry preserve and strawberry candy/bubble gum. I swear! Wish I can send scents thru internet.

Very cool! One of my favorite species, I find it very ornamental in or out of bloom. Mine's got buds started but it's still a good ways from blooming so I'll just enjoy yours in the meantime.
