I was surprised to find this Eucharis × grandiflora blooming away in its Winter spot (down in the basement) today. I suppose I should water it a bit more until it's done blooming. Hasn't been watered at all in about a month.

Eucharis tends to be opportunist in flowering, reacting to stress, which can be cool and/or drought.

I grow it as a houseplant and stopped watering about 4-6 weeks ago and started again last week in the hope of some flowers over the next few to several weeks.
