hey al !
Tag says Anguloa dubia.
I only have two kinds, Anguloa Dubia and Anguloa ruckeri. I bought them all
as babies from Oakhill. The ruckeri are still far too young to be blooming.
I saw about a dozen plants of the much larger dubia bloom this spring/summer
after many years of getting bigger and bigger without flowering. Apparently
they like fire and ice and neglect and abuse and so bloomed profusely for me
this year. I had one plant that had 10 to 12 flower spikes. If they are
all labeled correctly (and I just don't know), then there is a lot of color
variation in the species; from pale pinks to oranges. Did not see any
yellows, which is the main color that shows up when you do a Google image
search. It puzzled me. They all smell like a childhood candy I remember:
candy wax bottles you are supposed to chew up like gum.
I grew the alba equestris from seed. About a dozen 4" pots bloomed
recently.

is that an anguloa virginalis on the front page of your site? (and
that's a very cool alba equestris...)
