I love these and am wondering which varieties you find to be the most heavily scented?

I just stumbled upon this... I didn't know streps had scent! I checked the Violet Barn site (placed an order there years ago when I was very into AVs) and a search for "streptocarpus fragrant" turned up several varieties. Hmm, could be time for a spring order...

Would love to hear feedback on fragrance should anyone try these.
“Little girl, why are you doing this? You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” After a few moments thought, she bent down, picked up another starfish & hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!” Be the change you wish to see in the world. http://www.stillsthatspeak.com...

As I was originally looking for species and cultivars? I will update as I find others. However? the Violet Barn
is (as mentioned) a great place to shop. I would include a link, but am a new member. Bristol's Potpourri, is another good scent.
