Have you ever seen Hymenocallis woelfleana in bloom?  Well,
now you have.  Native to Mexico.  This is the first time I
have ever seen this plant or this species in bloom. 
Superficially resembles Hymenocallis eucharidifolia but the
leaves of woelfleana are pronouncedly petiolate.  My #1780. 
The cup of woelfleana is smaller than that of eucharidifolia. 
Most Hymenocallis ovaries are sessile. Note that the ovary
of woelfleana is pedicellate.  I received this plant in Nov.,
2003, as a small bulb in leaf. It came from Hugh Bollinger.

The flowers of Hymenocallis woelfleana are intensely sweetly fragrant, something I have not noticed with other species of Hymenocallis
