    This flower is about 3.5 inches tip to tip. Sorry for the crappy picture.

    A variable species. Do you grow other varieties?

    I have one other that is called S swertiifolium var roseum. It does not appear to be mature since it has not flowered and is lass that 1/2 the size of this plant. But, it could just be a small clone. I really like Scaphosepalum in general.

    The var. roseum should have pink flower like this one too.
