I don't know if anybody has seen this before, but one of my S. purpurea I have had for over four years that I purchased from Calfornia Carnivores is scented. It produces large, red flowers and has a mild, cherry scent. When the petals are dried and crushed, they give off a wonderful sweet smell.
Has anybody else out there got scented purpurea venosa? It doesn't look like any rubra genes were thrown in. The flowers are also huge.
