I went out this evening to take photos of my 2 foot Star Dancer which has 4 open blooms ... first time it has bloomed for me. It has a nice fragrance – not very strong – might be stronger in summer.

I bought my Star Dancer from ViolaBird, who owns the orginal mother plant.

Here's a close-up of the split skirt:
