Title: hymenocallis
Post by: orpheos on August 17, 2011, 07:30:40 AM

Hi
does anyone know a source for seed or plants of Hymenocallis imperialis and Hymenocallis galvestonensis?
or does anyone have some seeds/bulbs to sell?

I have Hymenocallis imperialis, but I can no longer provide phytosanitary certificates for export shipments of plants.  I did not get any seeds of imperialis this year, but if reminded next spring can try again then.  Seeds of imperials are green, fleshy, spherical, and almost the size of a golf ball.

if the seeds are the size of a golfball the bulbs must be huge?

No seeds again this year.  The bulbs are not huge, just good-sized for Hymenocallis imperialis.  I did get seeds of H. guererroensis this year, and they are just starting to germinate.  I may have a few seeds of H. graminifolia as well.
