RE: Yahoo! Briefcase: tchessie's file(s)- mystery plant going to bloom

Thanks- this does look very much like my recollection of the flower.  I will
take more pics as it opens.

Might well be, as it appears to be going to flower white. There are
several other white ones, to wit: O.(juncifolium narbonense nutans
saundersii
umbellatum). So show us the flower spike when many flowers are open,
plus a close up of a single flower if you can.
I'll send you (and anybody else who wants) two .jpgs of
O. thyrsoides so you'll have something to compare yours with.
