Author Message   Carol23  Posted on Thursday, December 28, 2006 - 03:20 pm EST :    I thought this was cyprium. The tuber was very slow to show growth. The other cyprium flowered long ago. No fragrance noted at the moment. The blotches on the flowers are showy. Any thoughts?

Best, J. Johnlonsdale - PA, Zone "6b"   Carol23  Posted on Thursday, December 28, 2006 - 07:06 pm EST :    Thanks, John. That would explain why the leaves appear similar to cyprium while the flowers look more like libanoticum. It's a cute little plant and I really like it. A couple of years ago one of my parrots scalloped the tuber which still shows the scar.
