Bernard is this your plant? Max I have seven or eight Madagascan Bulbos but have only managed to flower one. There is a picture in the A to Z....Bulb. occulsum....Max you might have alook at it and see if it is this Bulbo as I have some people say it is not. Your help knowledge would be appreciated.

Max, Thanks for correctly identifying the name of the species shown as B.molossus above. I have changed the name to B.moratii. Both of these species are from Madagascar and we know how close some of these species can be.
