Greetings,

  Definitely Hesperocallis undulata and now is right on time for their bloom - though they are opportunistic so they come earlier or later depending on rainfall.

  I have sent seed of H. undulata to the BX in the past. I may be able to send some again this year. It is not easy to grow and, I imagine, wants a far deeper substrate the most growers can provide.

This photo was taken in Borrego Springs this month and sent to me as
'Desert Lily'. Anyone recognize its species?

I will venture a guess it might be a Hesperocallis, as it does somewhat
resemble that on the wiki and I see the same common name used on that page
with that location.

Just curious.
Apparently these are blooming there now, part of the Super Bloom.
