The Red Fantasy variety has the same fragrance but a slightly less intense smell than the common one. It makes up for it in more flowers. I average 2-4 flower stems per plant and have had plants this size with 6 spikes. You will have no problem recognizing the chocolate fragrance.

Actually the plant slid right out of the pot without any effort. If it had not I would have cut the pot off. The problem with re-potting anything this overgrown is that a good size pot is 4-5 inches and even looks better in 6 inches. That is a big problem with retaining too much water.

I get around that by potting mostly with Styrofoam peanuts. It is an individual decision for every plant.

This one I decided would easily mount into a beautiful specimen.
