I uploaded a few photos to the wiki. In particular, I have a question
regarding the bulbs I purchased that are supposed to be Phycella.

======================================
Phycella sp.. I got these as Mixed Phycella from a Dutch Bulbs offering
a year ago, and this one finally bloomed this year. They looked very
similar to large Cyrtanthus, although I can see differences in the
morphology of the flower. They didn't look like small Hippeastrums to
me. Are these really Phycella, and if so, which species?

Eleutherine bulbosa, from Argentina via Plant Delights Nursery. Flowers
3 cm in diameter open in the evening and are scented, but are
completely shriveled by morning.

I also added some extra photos of the following:
Calydorea coelestina

And some more photos of Griffinia liboniana. I can't get enough of
looking at these.
