Six anthers and those crystalline looking petals makes me think Amaryllidaceae and the regular, upright flowers Zephyranthes, but not one I've seen before...

I think you are on the right track, Gail.... the flowersmust be quite young because the anthers are still undeveloped..... my first thought was that the flowers were quite small.... but I'm thinking now that that tricky Hans may be being clever with the angle of the photo, making them appear shorter and smaller than they really are.....  ::)

Just seen your post, Anthony....  that was crossing my mind....... :D

So would it be the Haylockia andina (identified by Kew as Zephyranthes andina) featured on the Pacific Bulb Society page and photographed by a certain Hans Joschko?  http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Haylockia

Hurrah!  Congratulations, Gail... that was a  tricky one!
So I was wrong with the scale, then... this has only got a short stem. Nice plant .... the deeper pink tone is very pretty .

Alberto - the genus Haylockia has been around for a while - there are plants illustrated under that name in Jane Loudon's “The Ladies' Flower Garden of Ornamental Bulbous Plants” of 1849 (http://www.rare-maps.com/details.cfm?type=prints&auto_key=251632).  However most species seem to have been moved to other genera now eg. Haylockia chihuanhuaya to Clinanthus and Hans' Haylockia andina is considered synonymous with Zephyranthes andina
