Beautiful flower. Is it possible to grow this plant in Mumbai climate ? Nice picture sir. Does it have any fragrance? all flowers have a scent however faint when they first open, you know that of course.. no gloxinias's "scent" does not last even a few minutes... gloxinias are so highly hybridized that the end result looks good but does not send out scent.. like the tea roses... Sinningia speciosa was introduced as a house plant popularly known as Gloxinia, the original plant hailing from south America. This tuberous herb with inodorous flowers can be grown in moist shady places even in Mumbai. I have had good experiences with Gloxinia perrenis which used to give smell at particular time, almost twice a day it was on peak otherwise it was faintly scented. Infact the person in whose garden I saw it for the first time, never really smelled it. We call such persons bad rooster!!!! hehehehe... Bad Rooster is the one who wakes up late and goes to bed early :P.... but never misses to shout during the day time :))
