The first time this plant has ever bloomed. It really surprised me! I'm impressed that such a deep colour and flat form is possible through lots of line breeding, but personally I like the classic schilleriana look more so I'll probably end up buying another plant.
Fragrance being lost through selection for colour and form is definitely what I'm worried about the most since that was a big aspect which drew me to schilleriana and its hybrids. It's only been open for a day, but I'll definitely keep you all updated on if any fragrance develops!
