Default Porpax gigantea
Porpax gigantea, Deori, Bull. Bot. Surv. India 17: 174 (1975 publ. 1978).

This true miniature has exploded after the winter! 3 flower, 6 more buds and a total of 10 new growth! And take some look at the bulbs

What a beauty, Magnus! I have only seen one species of Porpax, so I am suspecting that the "gigantea" is a relative term, correct? It is a very, very tiny plant?
A very complext flower!
Cheers - Nancy
