    I got this a few years ago in a batch of plants from a nursery that was closing. The good news: the flowers are big and have lasted a week. The bad news: I can't stand the smell.

    Great hybrid! Is the fragrance unpleasant or just, as is often the case with stans, too strong?

    Tennis, it isn't bad, but it isn't good and it is too strong. I can smell it in the next room.
