It really is an experience to see and smell this species up close and in person.
Congratulations!

Yes, it is!

In terms of breeding, Peter lists it as 2n x 4n so it is unlikely to produce offspring, but I may try anyway.

So beautiful. Are they fragrant? I read that 3n's have a different fragrance than 2n's . But yours is a 2n x 3n cross, so I'm curious! Thank you. Congratulations!

If you self the plant it will mostly be infertile but sometimes produces a small (<5%) percentage of 2n, 4n and 6n. Worth a try if you have any way to grow them!

Fascinating. Lost the opportunity this time, but maybe next time!
