Hey Eric,

That's an interesting bulbo that I haven't seen before. Thanks for your post!

How big are the individual flowers, they look to be quite small? Do they have a fragrance?

Gorgeous! I bid on a few of these on ebay, but eventually gave up thinking it was too big for my place anyway. How big is the plant? And do the flowers have a fragrance?
This bulbo is in the section Careyana which all have a similar inflorescence which I find very cool! The color on this one is very attractive too.

The plant it self is in a 5 inch pot and is maybe in all 10 to 12 inches tall and the flowers are 1/4 inch long by 1/8 wide and the whole flower spike is 8 to 10 inches and has no smell from what i can tell.
