Eucomis - Topic of the Week

Dear All,

I'll try again. The plant below was labeled Eucomis autumnalis (pink) by
the Huntington. But all the pictures I see of E. autumnalis show it with
pure white flowers. Could this be E. comosa instead? I smelled it and
couldn't really detect a bad smell or really much of a smell. Is this one
of those things that not everyone can smell or do some species have an
unpleasant smell and others not. If so, can anyone tell us which ones have
an unpleasant smell?
