I thought it was pretty in a neighbor’s garden as we walked to the park.
When I researched it, the reports on the smell ranged from slight skunk-like, musty, strong- like citronella – I didn’t stick my nose in the blossom so didn’t notice any scent.

Beautiful flower! Too bad about the skunk like smell.
I need to verify that’s true.
This is an interesting flower of texture and delicacy. But that smell, no thank you.
I need to go smell one to see if what I found online is accurate
