My first time blooming this lovely which I purchased from Marilyn last year.

Very cute. Is it fragrant?

I was about to say ‘No’ but I stuck my nose next to the bloom and it does have a bit of a smell, but I wouldn’t consider it a particularly pleasant fragrance .

Interesting. Typically these crosses with 50% or more schlimii in their parentage will have the classic rose-like schlimii fragrance if they're fragrant at all. I wonder if Phrag. czerwiakowianum is fragrant and perhaps has influenced the outcome.

Oh! I like that one.

It’s really sweet. One of my favorite Phrags to-date. The flowers have even more of a soft raspberry pink cast than I’m able to capture with my phone.
