I hope you could smell it!

I once toured a cave in Slovenia which finishes at the bottom of a vast
sinkhole, a kilometre across and almost as deep. C purpurascens was
flowering all over the sides, the air was warm and the scent was
everywhere. I bought a plant to see if it would grow in my garden, put
it beside the lawn so that I could lie down and smell it. It seems
happy but one is not enough...
