    This is one of the 7 species in the Section macrobulbon
    I obtained this one as a large seedling and this is the first bloom on it. I have a division of another one in my collection as well. The flower is about 3" long...nice stale odor of mouse nest.

    I have a shed that mice seem to nest in every winter. So, yes I do.
