Interesting - not a genus I've heard of.  Is it fragrant?

Alessandro,

Beautiful flowers. I acquired a few one year old seedlings last week. The already show the grey patches on the leaves. Some are growing out a 3rd leaf now.

Alessandro,
that is one seriously curious plant!
This link shows how wonderful the foliage is as well http://www.bulbsociety.org/GALLERY_OF_THE_WORLDS_BULBS/GRAPHICS/Rauhia/Rauhia_decora/Rauhiadecora.html
I had wondered what Heinie meant by "grey patches"on the foliage!
Did you grow yours from seed? If so is this the first flowering?
cheers

Fermi,

I should have written "silver speckles" like it is described by Huntington Botanical Gardens at this link http://www.huntington.org/BotanicalDiv/ISI%202008/isi/2008-27.html and "dark spots" as on the photo at this link. I will try to get a photo of my seedlings today.
