I must proofread: I meant to type ssp. abbreviatum above for A. flavum. Anyway, A. candidissimum is now open, with its white spathe. Supposedly they have a perfume, but I don't smell anything. Pretty, anyway. It and flavum are so odd; they just poke their noses out of the ground in early May, then just sit there for three weeks, then in just a few days shoot up their leaves and open their flowers.
