I grabbed a picture of my "old" 'White Henryi' that have been with me since 1999 but they look really bad as they got hit with frost and then botrytis. The flowers are small don't represent well what this normally looks like. I bought some more bulbs (from TLG) and planted them spring 2017 and they will bloom soon and I will get a picture of those as the look much healthier and more typical.

What struck me as the most off about Linda's photo was that the tepals looks too wide and not recurved enough. We also mentioned the markings & papillae.

Linda - your bed will be magnificent when you are done - looking very nice already. Even if your plant is not White Henryi - it is a beautiful plant and a keeper for sure. I actually like it better than the real White Henryi for looks Smiling
