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.
