Corey ... white...so plain. like a blank canvas,,, So many neat aromas from the white-flowered amaryllids, partiularly the long-tubed taxa. You've picked two favorite white flowered genera for me! Eucharis is a most intriguing winter bloomer. E. amazonica and E. formossa are in full bloom and wonderfully scented indoors or in the greenhouse. Another unidentified Eucharis from Peru just finished. the petiolate foliage is an extra bonus. Panratium must also be lumped into these favorites for me. And Hymenocallis....this one has moved up to my #1 slot, receiving more attention than most of my collection. Hym. godfreyi is in bloom now along w/ another from St.. Marks, FL, Possibly H. crassifolia. I need the mexican species to get a better knowledge of them. Ismene and Elisene are almost equally enticing, but much more difficult for me here in Florida. Luther burbank's Crinum 'white Queen' flowered last year for me and was awesome. I am working on Hipp.evansiae hybrids, which I hope to get results w/ spidery petals from cybister in three backgrounds. The first rounds w/ papilio in them too had some light colored ones that were crossed to bring out the white, one more backcross into evansiae and then they should have the white. Things like H. solandriflora/brasilianum/parodii all are attractive hipps. Off topic, we just found some Monotropa uniflora / indian pipes (acholrophyllous, white plants and flowers), neat.
