Mystery bulb

Carol,

if she purchased it in Amsterdam on the Bloemengracht, then it is guaranteed
H. x festalis. The chance of a non-commercial bulb being sold there is a
million to 1. This Hymenocallis is produced in huge quantities for the
international market.

you as our resource for Hymenocallis. Do you have an opinion before Susan
renames the picture? Also perhaps Carol could tell us where her
daughter-in-law obtained the bulb. Is it something commonly available? That
might help figure it out. Whatever the species, it is a very nice picture.

She bought it on the "bulb" street which is close to the railroad station in
Amsterdam (Holland). I will send her an email, but she probably won't know.
Holland makes lots of money on amaryllis in winter, for instance all Danish
amaryllis come from Holland. I haven't ever seen any interesting bulbs like
mine or the crinum being sold.
