I did notice a faint fragrance, but it is nothing that I would really describe as memorable or desirable.

Thanks for looking.

I was watering my plant the other morning and noticed that the fragrance was much stronger. It was quite a pleasant floral scent.
When I first posted, I think I was smelling it in the afternoon.

How big is your plant? They can get quite big at maturity with many many growths.

Had to come home to check. 10 growths: 2 blooming, 1 half-mature growth.

That really is a great color. For some reason the "normal" color of these never really appealed to me. I could see myself with this plant. No problems at all.
