Thanks, Zain. However, I'm not sure that was what it was. The photos I have seen of claviodora do not match the flowers I saw, and I do know there are a couple other Gongora that also have the scent of cloves (like G. tricolor). The flowers I saw were very pale -- mostly white with lavender/purple flecks. However, it is possible that it may have been a semi-alba variety.
