This hybrid pretty much always has "floppity" flowers, and this is basically about what you get in terms of shape. Granted, I like the more interestingly shaped slipper flowers and I love floppy flowers. The only thing I don't like about these is how often that have that hooked lip, not really my thing.

I love that it's fragrant. It's not terribly surprising to me since both parent species are, or can be, fragrant. I'm guessing it's not super strong, but that it's pleasant.
 
Is it a bit challenging to grow? I have Blsck Diamond ‘Jazz Singer’ from Hadley. I killed the first one and have slowly managed to keep a small piece that broke off alive and it’s finally growing. Would love to get it to blooming size.
