Several months ago I asked this group about the growth cycle of Hesperocallis undulata. Well...I got my answer during a visit to Anza-Borrego State Natural Area (Park) in late September. I was talking to a volunteer at the visitors center, and he said that the plants were just coming up, in response to the heavy rains the park had experienced recently. He noted that the plants grow through the winter and usually start flowering in February. (He also said they were one of his favorite flowers.) I never got to the area where the plants were; otherwise I might have taken some pictures. Eugene Zielinski Augusta, GA USA
