So beautiful. Thanks. (Actually I don't know to which of the 2 pics this
reply is attached. I've seen them elsewhere.)
Are the flowers scented? I have a yellow one 'oxypetalum' whose blooms
emit a wonderful scent overnight. It hasn't flowered the last years
though. I cross-pollinated it with the usual red ones. So I'm hoping of
getting interesting results maybe as soon as next year (Plants are from
5cm - 15cm in height).
My experience so far is in short terms: 'red' kills the scent.

I just checked and no sweet smell.
