You have to build a big heap of coarse sand and rock while waiting!

I agree, Saori - it looks more like a little trollius, I think - sweet thing.

I learn that R. weberbaueri has two synonyms : Krapfia weberbaueri Standl. & J.F. Macbr. and
Rhopalopodium weberbaueri Ulbr.

Some great detailed photos in this paper ( in Spanish ) http://www.scielo.org.pe/scielo.php?pid=S1727-99332013000300006&script=sci_arttext (http://www.scielo.org.pe/scielo.php?pid=S1727-99332013000300006&script=sci_arttext)

Thanks Maggi for the links! They are very interesting to read. :D I hope that Kot (and any of us who want to try) have a chance to grow one of them someday. :)
