flower'd in winter!

Chesapeake, VA(Zone 7b)

She started putting on an "inflow" (is that right?) right after I brought it in for the winter. So instead of putting it in the GH to go dormant, I brought it in the house and kept it in a south facing window. About 3 weeks ago I moved it to a west window b/c the sun was more intense in there. I came home to this yesterday. Smells soooo nice!

It actually feels like it looks. So soft and velvety.

I think I'll get more flowers too.

nice! nothing like plumie blooms during the winter.

Very nice, looks like you'll be getting a few more flowers in the next few days to enjoy.

Congratulations. Does it smell of peaches by chance?

The correct term is 'inflo', short for 'inflorescence'....

Thanks Dutch, I just went and smelled it and yes you could say it smells "peachy" a heavy scent. I kinda want to say musky too.

I'll wait to see more pictures later on before pronouncing it a certain variety....

That's a lovely flower.

Thank you, I believe the correct name is Aztec Gold.

It's missing the telltale pink edge and pink buds that Aztec Gold should have, but maybe the color is not fully developed since it's indoors.

it's purty but that does not look like aztec gold. :) just one look at the petals and you can see that they are different.

It may not be Aztec Gold then. I rec'd this in a trade along with some others. I had the name written on the side of the pot but it faded before I recorded it properly. Now that I think on it, the one marked AG is in my GH and is currently dormant. I'm just tickled that I have something so tropical blooming and it's Feb.! Any gusses as to what I have then?
thanks
