I consider 'the most fragrant of all Amaryllis" a nice sales text for Hippeastrum 'Picasso' but not at all true. Almost all Picasso I have grown have a light fragrance but only noticeable when you go sniffing near the flower. I can name a dozen other cultivars that have more fragrance.

I tried detecting it at all times of day. (My sense of smell is good, so …) nothing. When I emailed Shceepers they assured me that I received the correct product. I know some of the papillo strains are said to be fragrant, and of course A. belladonna. But I was counting on a fragrant bloom from A. ‘Picasso". Anyone have any similar experience with Amaryllis ?
