Hi Carol, Susan et al:
It is a good opportunity to compare Alberto's
great images of two true Hymenocallis species against that of Carol
daughter's Ismene. It can be Ismene 'Festalis' or Ismene 'Advance'. Even
without an image Carol's description of the plant having a stem or "trunk"
from which the leaves appear points to a Ismene.
Regards
Alberto
