Very strange to see this flowering now. Pecteilis gigantea.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

I see it was flowering in late September, which is also strange time...

Look at the petals of both and you will know. gigantea has much longer petals; susannae has small shorter petals, very tiny.

Gigantea as the name suggests is tall, can even go up to 4feet but this cant be an identifying character. If you feed susannae, it can grow taller too.

A new born baby is 1 feet but when he becomes dad, he is almost 5 feet (in normal condition). So height is not a true basis of differentiation.
