I think that is the darkest fragrant flower I've seen. Very nice!

Thanks guys
that seedling is a hybrid from 'Reldon', a grand daughter, the dark colour came from 'Black Star' a great grand child of 'Amethyst Star'. I have another, two shades darker
Here is more of the plant, drooping leaves with great substance and very waxy.

I was wondering if I figured into that lineage somehow.
