Thanks … for this very useful link.. I now know that this is a Bomarea sp.


It was the first time I saw these flowers, that too in ephotographs! A curious search gave me a hint and I pasted the link!

I don’t know what is the species id or if there is any other similar looking genus….. perhaps the most popular cultivars belong to B. multiflora (L.f.) Mirb., which may be a weed as well!

Perhaps we can identify it upto B. caldasiana Herb. level, thereafter it diverges –

Since we (?) do not have KEY to spp, following lit. may help –

Bomarea multiflora (L.f.) Mirb. ??
