double flower from Cadetia taylorii

My Cadetia taylorii put out a double flowering from the same part of the plant. The inflorescence appears to split into two partway up and the blooms are back to back, with one of them inverted nearly 180 degrees from the other. I've never seen this before from this plant and wonder how common it is.

This was also the first time that I've been able to detect the fragrance of the plant, perhaps because there's twice as much!

Sorry I haven't yet mastered the art of taking photos of these tiny little flowers.

If you have pests, you might need to call an Orkin pest exterminator to help keep your flowers pest free.
