Re: H. amancaes, not surprising that it's tricky --considering its native
provenance in coastal sand in Peru.

Also, I found amancaes much trickier to grow than longipetala, Advance,
Festalis, Pax, and Suphur Queen.

re. H. amancaes. It is apparently limited to a small area in Peru in the
wild and may not be being propagated by many growers. Seeds are not
currently avaialable from B & T world seeds.

I don't know why Google/Picasa URLs are so complicated. Here is a photo of
my
Sulphur Queen (taken some years ago) You can see it has a very pleasant
shape,
and actually the color's not bad, just not really to my taste.

I would be happy with Ismene amancaes; I don't know why it's impossible to
obtain.
