Seed from Ismene Festalis

Someone recently sent me a seed from Hymenocallis Festalis, which would be
an Ismene according to current thinking. I've forgotten who sent me that
seed, so I want to report in:

The seed was planted on the surface of my gritty mix in a deep but narrow
clay pot. The pot is in a heated lean-to type glasshouse with thermostats
set at around 55°F (ca. 13 C).

The seed has germinated, and I'm watering it regularly. It's now firmly
rooted, but there is no sign of a leaf shoot developing so far.

I'd appreciate it if the sender of this seed would get in touch with me please.
