I like the authentic Dusky Challenger, but I also like Hollywood Nights and Royalty Remembered. I have Hollywood nights planted right next to Golden Panther.
Question for you all. Schreiner's catalog listing for Dusky Challenger lists it as having no fragrance. One of the reasons I think that the plant I received of it from Jung's is not authentic (in addition to having smaller, slightly lighter, less ruffled and less satiny bloom than I remember) is that it smells very potently of grape soda. And so I have obtained a new plant of it from Schreiner's which hopefully will bloom next year so that I can compare it.
However, for ONLY those of you who got your Dusky Challenger direct from Schreiner's, do you agree with them that it has little or no fragrance?
