Greetings Xuan,

Very interesting! Your lovely blossom reminds me of H. roseum.
Did you import it from Myanmar, which was formerly known as Burma?

Kind regards,

Blanca

Xuan,
Is this H. roseum? I bought three bulbs of this from Royal Colors this year, but they were very small and show no signs of blooming. I have found it difficult to find much information about this plant. Is it evergreen, or does it like a long dormancy?

Bill

Hello Blancawing and Macroclemy...thanks for interest in my bulb. Actually a friend of mine went to Myanma (Burma) and begged for a few bulbs from a local gardener. I then was given the bulb sometime last yeat.

The bulb is rather small but its flower stalk is quite tall. I was rather surprise when I found its stalk last month.

Some people already told me it looks like Roseum. I have given it a Vietnamese name for easy reference.

Xuan

Thank you Xuan! It looks similar, but not exactly like my H. roseum.
