Hi all, this is another unusual bulb, and it flowered with me for the first time this year. Maybe it is not so fine but de gustibus. Unlike Cyrtanthus it spent 4 months dry but in a warm place (15°C by night, 20-25 by day). It has to be considered a xerophytic bulb. I do not know the name of the species and if anyone could help me in identify it I'd be very grateful.

Wow :o
Super plant Alberto !
Sorry but I have never seen this species before !
-
Hi all, an update. Thank you to the informations of Aaron and the turning of colour of my plant, I can identify this species as Eucrosia aurantiaca. After two days, the tepals have become yellow!
-
I like it!!
-
Hi Alberto!
Very nice plant!
Now that you mention Cyrtanthus, i think i have one of those,but i am not sure. The flowers open probably tomorrow, then i will show it here.

Hello!
Here is my Cyrtanthus. Any idea which species? The colour on the pictures is not true, the flowers are more deep blood-red.

Mike, it looks about the shape for C. brachyscyphus..... not the right shape for the mackenii, at least not from the angles in the picture anyway?
-
Paul i will take another picture of it soon, but i think you are right about the name!
-
As a bonus for Christmas time, my Eucrosia mirabilis flowered for the first time. Actually I cannot say it is beautiful, but I like it vey much!
