Title: Hymenocallis speciosa
Post by: Hassan on September 03, 2011, 11:10:19 AM

Hello

Hymenocallis speciosa is now the name of the bulb

Beautiful enough to be used as a bouquet

Having leaves like Eucharis with flowers about 20+ in all per stalk

Hassan, where did you get it from? Wrinkled foliage is not normal in Hymenocallis (or any other bulb).

I have this Hymenocallis speciosa blooming again and even though it has only 8 smaller flowers instead of 20+ flowers is still one of the most beautiful Hymenocallis I ever encountered for it has strong and rigid almost globular Allium-like smart formation when in prime condition
This sounds good for the future generation of novelty Hymenocallis breeding effort
I shall wait for another one more bulb to bloom again and see how it goes ::)
