Hi all,

I got a few bulbs of Hymenocallis maximilianii from Russell Stafford
(Odyssey Bulbs) in April, 2002. One of these is now sending up a
scape. It isn't in "Flora of North America" vol. 26. Thad Howard lists it
as from Mexico, coastal Guerrero, and as being "somewhat like H. acutifolia."

Can anyone tell me about how I ought to be growing it? I have the feeling
it is only flowering for me because of the extraordinarily rainy season we
are having. How big is it going to get someday? What size container ought
it be grown in? I've crowded 5 of these into one 10-inch bulb pan (only
about 4 or 5 inches deep).

Regards,
Jim Shields
