Peruvian Daffodils/Ismene/Hymenocallis

Hi all,
Hymenocallis and Ismene flowers come only in white and yellow, although a
few have a lot of green in the tepals (petals + sepals).

Another gardener asked me last week if I had ever seen any Peruvian
Daffodils (Hymenocallis) sold or grown in any colors other than White or
Yellow. Simply because he asked, I thought maybe he knew something I
didn't... .so I went to one of my favorite bulb suppliers and asked the
same question; they haven't seen anything in say Pink or Red. Before I
sign off on this, possibly someone would please confirm that this is the
right answer? Because if this group hasn't grown or studied it, it
probably does not exist.
