| I received this plant from a hobby grower in Memphis who could not get it to spike. I am think it is either a Gower's Ramesy or a Onc. Sweet Sugar or maybe some other Onc. sphacelatum hybrid. Any ideas on what this Onc. could be? It seems to be growing well enough in my conditions but I would like to have the correct name on the label. |

| Here is the whole plant. |

| Greencurls, too many hybrids look like this, so in the absence of a tag your baby will always be unidentified. I will say the flowers look a bit oversized for Gower Ramsey, but that's about all that can be said. |

| I am sure that it has similar parentage as the Gower's Ramsey. But the flowers are larger and the plant is smaller which is why I was thinking it could be a Sweet Sugar. I do not know much about Gower's Ramesy either. Possibly this is just a cultivar of it. I was not aware of how popular this type of hybrid is. Maybe it will always be a NOID. |

| Sweet Sugar has larger flowers shorter, fatter bulbs shorter flower stems |
