Musella lasiocarpa
Spotted this beautiful plant in the Berkeley Horticultural Nursery, Berkeley, CA. The blossom was so beautiful. Wikipedia: "The plant is native to the Yunnan province in China, where it grows high in the mountains up to an altitude of 2500 m. It is known for its yellow erect flower, generally appearing during the second year of cultivation, that can last a few months. Just before opening, the flower resembles a lotus - from which the plant gets one of its names."
