Identificacion de dos bulbosas

I believe this is a species of Echeandia. It looks similar to this one,
which hails from not too far away:

As the write-up indicates, I've grown it since 1998 and it has never
flowered. I will send photos for the wiki at some point. I hope Alexis can
return when the flowers open and take more photos!

Unfortunately, modern floristic resources for Mexico are very thin. I could
not find this distinctive plant in Flora Novo Galiciana, which treats many
bulbs of western-central Mexico. There is also another large
Echeandia-looking plant from the Tehuacan area with bright green leaves
that looks even more like a Manfreda.

Regards,

Dylan
