Post by Mike P »

First time this has flowered and it did it in style. It’s label gives Yavi as it’s collection location.

Hi Mike nice plant.
I think hypogaea has now been put into M. molfinoi, but I cannot remember if it is within that species or as an ssp. of molfinoi or not.

Yes you are right - I need some more labels - it came labelled glomerata. I find it very aesthetically pleasing as a plant / flower combo.
