I tried twice to post this with pictures to the PBS Forum.  Both tries
seemed to just disappear, so here is the gist of it:

My plant of Hymenocallis woelfleana is in bloom.  I received this plant as
a small bulb, in leaf, in Nov., 2003, from Hugh Bollinger.  This is the
first time this plant has ever bloomed for me and perhaps the first time
the species has bloomed in the USA  so far as I know.

The plant is about the size and shape of Hymenocallis eucharidifolia, with
the following exceptions.   This species has leaves that are distinctly
petiolate, while eucharidifolia leaves are not.  This species has smaller
floral cups than the flowers of eucharidifolia.  Unlike almost all the
species of Hymenocallis I am familiar with, which have sessile ovaries,
this species has the ovary on a short pedicel.

I self-pollinated some of the flowers; we shall see if that works or not....
