Lynn,
   Thanks much for the leads on identification of my
plant.  It does look a lot like U. lepidota in the
illustration (by far the closest match so far), but the leaves seem a bit
different to me - my plant's leaves look a bit more blunt-tipped, and the
flowers are not as open.  I'll try to get some close-up photos of
the flowers once it has another flush of them (it flowers several times
per year).
