I can't believe it. Although my bulb is still quite young and small (this is its third growing season), my Ismene amancaes has sent up a scape (with one bud) and has bloomed! Thanks to the help of Jay Yourch, a quick photo of it is now on the wiki: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… This is the yellow parent of the *much* more readily available Ismene/Hymenocallis 'Sulphur Queen' hybrid. I think it's beautiful and it's not that difficult to grow. Other than the fact that it has a really long dormancy period during which I keep it dry, it doesn't require any special care. (It seems to only grow during the spring and early summer and is dormant pretty much the entire rest of the year.) --Lee Poulsen Pasadena, California, USDA Zone 10a
