Neat, Carlo! Is this the first time it has bloomed? Does it usually bloom at this time? Thanks for the "nit" on Ambrosina/Ambrosinia. IPNI shows that Ambrosinia is a Linnaean genus; and it shows that Ambrosina was published two years before Linne published Ambrosinia. So even back then they were at it. And even now, two and a half centuries later, some of us are still getting it wrong!
