Yes, Michael, but its parents were both from South America.

Rhodophiala montana received as R. elwesii ex Goteborg Botanic Garden in flower here.  Some may have received received seeds of this again as R. elwesii.

Caliphruria korsakoffii, a dwarf in the Eucharis group, is blooming now.  I think this comes from Peru.

This one may be from a high altitude, because it thrives in my Clivia House, where the winter temperatures at night can get down to 40-45°F (about 4 - 7°C).  I keep my Eucharis in a somewhat warmer greenhouse, and they just barely survive.  The Caliphruria is on the same table with some Hippeastrum species.

Attached, the flower close-up.

Sounds more interesting

I can't keep Eucharis
I tried them a few times
but it seems to be to cold in my poly-tunnels (+1ºC)

It's too bad that these Caliphruria do not seem to set seeds.

Maybe self sterile
It wouldn't be the first time
that all the plants for sale in the trade
are just from a single collection

A few more shots of the same Rhodophiala montana as a couple of yellows have since opened.
