Hi Mary Sue: Thanks for the warm welcome and the links to the threads about fragrant bulbs. I am still discovering all the features on this list, and I'm sure I'll be passing many hours in the near future reading through all the archives. I feel like I've struck it rich! I was only able to find one piece of information regarding my specific question (which Hymenocallis species are most fragrant) in the links you gave me, and 'Sulfur Queen' is already on my "to buy" list when the catalogues publish their spring bulb list, so I hope other people will chime in with a few other alternatives. I am mainly an indoor grower but am lucky enough to be blessed with a a large sunroom and large, unobstructed windows facing all exposures. I obtained two Hymenocallis 'Tropical Giant' starts in late April, potted them up in a 10" pot, stuck them in a southern window and lo and behold they both flowered at the end of July. They have both since produced several offsets and are now in a 14" pot. Not bad, eh? Needless to say I was instantly hooked and have been determined to look for other Hymenocallis species ever since. My main interest is in fragrant plants, especially those that are fragrant at night. Some of my favorite and most successful houseplants have been Brunfelsia americana, Brassavola nodosa, Epiphyllum anguliger, Epiphyllum oxypetalum, several Neomarica species, Sansevieria parva and a jolly green giant of a Monstera deliciosa that I am determined to flower and fruit indoors. The genus Brunfelsia has also captured my interest lately and I have obtained several other species to complement my B. americana. Any of these plants can nearly stink me out of the house (in a good way) on a warm, humid summer night (except the E. anguliger which blooms in the fall and the Neomaricas which are day-bloomers), and the Hymenocallis 'Tropical Giant' can certainly be added to that list, too. The only other bulbs I currently grow indoors are Crinum oliganthum, Eucharis 'Christine' and, most recently, Hymenocallis tubiflora and an unidentified Hymenocallis species from Guatemala. I can't wait to try more! :-) Take care, Corey in Chicago --- Mary Sue Ittner <msittner@mcn.org> wrote: > Hi Corey, > > Welcome to our list.
