Lyc Alma de mi Alma
This is a cross between Shoalhaven (a well known hybrid) and a species = Lyc. guatemalensis. It is good for what it is, but not up to AOS award standards when compared to other hybrids available now.
This plant comes from Ecuagenera, but I bought mine on Ebay in late winter 2013. At the time, it was blooming with a single flower.
I got it into better growth, so in April 2014 it bloomed with 3 flowers, and then added one more in June.
This year the new growth got somewhat bigger, so it is blooming with 12 flowers & buds right now.

That's very nice.  Is it fragrant? These plants are impressive with so many growths in bloom at once, makes up for one bloom for growth. Nice growing. |

I did not notice a fragrance, but then my olfactory system is not that sensitive. I will check next time I go to the greenhouse.
The 12 flowers/buds are all from one lead bulb. I am looking forward to this plant setting multiple growths; then it will really be able to put on a display.
