Can you help identify this one?

I got it for free at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society members plant give away. It was just back bulbs then. This is its second blooming. The tag is broken. The part I have is ... alactica ..... nt x Onc. leuchochilum)

I thought it might be Onc. Galactica (sym Gom) but cannot find a picture anywhere to confirm and the parentage doesn't seem right Any ideas? I'd really like to be able to identify it.

Carrie, I'm sorry, but you're simply never going to be certain about the ID - there are simply too many similar-looking flowers out there.

Thanks Ray. I was hoping that the partial tag would help. Nonetheless, I'll enjoy it.

Sheesh! I must have been distracted when I read that. I didn't even catch the "partial tag" info. I'll try to remember to check OrchidWiz later.

Ray, LOL! It's called old-timers! I tried OrchidWiz without success, but I am only a novice user - getting better every day!

There is a Gomphrena Galactica which is the closest I could find and no registered cross with leucochilum. leucochilum is spelt without the first h in OW.
