That could be the reason Galanth, or maybe it's planted too deep.

Keep a watch for rareplants autumn catalogue too, they should have it online soon. They have a good range of species.

My duchartrei are nearly in flower, the plain stemmed one hads 3 buds nearly open, the spotted stem one is getting there. They are in the shady greenhouse with airflow.

All of the buds on the female stem are now open, the last 3 are male. It looks to be backing it all ways, if no male stem it makes male flowers on the female stem. Very interesting, the pistils got progressively smaller until there were none.
