Midwest humidity is probably too much for Hesperocallis undulata.

Ohhh, if Jim can't grow it I am very much out of luck!

I'll just admire it from the pictures :)

Josh and all,

I've had one for years. It makes a leaf or two in some years, nothing at all
in
most years. It has never bloomed, and it may well be dead now -- I have not
dumped it out in the last several years.

I grow it (if that's what you want to call storing it in a dry pot for years
at
a time without visible growth) in a deep pot in nearly pure sand. It sits
outdoors in most summers and gets natural rain. Some years it sits inside
the
greenhouse for the whole year.

I clearly don't know how to grow it.
