Dear PBSers, Thanks for all the input on this Mystery. I am pretty confident that Mary Sue summed it up best - a ’Homoglad’ and probably a hybrid between G. huttonii x G. tristis. One of the wiki pix is especially convincing. And especially knowing it is blooming now in MS’s garden and my gh. Still wonder where this came from. Must have come in with some soil. Thanks all for your help. Jim W.
