Finally, the darker ones are beginning to open, so I took pictures of the three shades that are currently blooming and combined them. There is still the pure white ones left to bloom -- probably in a couple of weeks.

This particular flower is definitely a cross between C. tuberosus and C. pallidus with intermediate characteristics of both.
