Nice to see how this looks like...I am trying to start a few species of Zaluzianskaya from seed, I think I have some life in a couple of the containers.

Is this species you are growing fragrant like the seed packets say it is?

This one seems to only have a really faint smell (although to be fair I was sniffing it in the early AM, and it may be more fragrant in the evening). Z. capensis has a much stronger scent so if you're interested in the scent that's the one I'd go for. The flowers look very similar between the two species.

Ah, yes, capensis. Thanks for steering me in the right direction. How many others of this genus are you growing, may I ask?

Just this one, I used to have Z. capensis at my old house and I'll probably get it again at some point. I found this one at the nursery this year and they didn't have capensis at the time so I tried this one instead but since the fragrance isn't as nice I'll have to get some of the Z. capensis next time I see it.
