This is supposed to be Exotica, but to my eyes it much more closely resembles Terra Cotta Star. Does anyone know if either or both of these varieties are fragrant? If only one of them is fragrant, then that would settle the question definitively. I could find no place online that mentions fragrance for either of them.

Fragrance isn't such a common trait in hippeastra that I'm surprise it's not more consistently noted. It's such a treat. This one was strong enough that, at its peak, I could smell it walking into the room. It's not a cloying sweetness, just fresh and delightful.
