Eucharis is a genus in the Amaryllidaceae family from Central and South America.
Eucharis fosteri, given to me by Charles Hardman. Charles says it's easier to flower than E. x grandiflora, which I've only flowered once in 8 years. This is the first time E. fosteri has flowered for me. The flower and plant are about half the size of E. x grandiflora, and there is no scent that I can detect. Photos taken July 2003 by Lee Poulsen.
Eucharis x grandiflora, one of the few in cultivation, has green basal leaves and umbels of white fragrant flowers. The first photo is from Sheila Burrow. The second was taken June 2004 by Jay Yourch. Osmani Baullosa took the last two pictures, one of the buds and the second a close-up.
