Here are some pictures of the flower. This is the first time it has flowered for me sincerely I purchased it. Does it have the typical Sweet Momory flower? As far as the fragrance I haven’t noticed anything at all.

I'm not sure if this a summer blooming as mine blooms in April (unless your summer compares to my spring).

Don't cut the spike when the blooming is done. Most of its flowers will come from old spikes.

About the scent...mine is strong and fills the entire room, being more noticeable by noon, when temps are higher.

One more thing...as the plants grows older, the leaves will get bigger, really bigger. So, prepare some space for it.

It doesn't look like my Sweet Memory mine has much more rounded blooms - not sure if this has different forms - also mine is most fragrant in the morning in bright light.

Okay, I think now that the flower has fully opened it resembles more the flower in your picture. And I am so excited to have noticed the sweet fragrance!! It took my Liodoro a few days to start smelling but now I can compare to the smell of Lemonheads candy. It’s seeet lemony very very nice. Here’s a picture of it sitting in my window sill right in front of my sink (now I actually enjoy doing dishes) haha!
