I have had this plant for decades. The seed came, if my memory is correct,
from a friend who was working at Monticello. The by now rather large, dark
brown, rough textured cluster of tuberous roots - look like fingers
pointing downward from the single crown - lives in a pot year round,
spending the winter in the garage, ignored and un-watered.

It is doing quite well this year, probably because I gave it a substantial
top-dressing rather than just hauling it outdoors and giving it a drink of
water.

I went to the wiki, and was surprised to find only one picture, comparing
seeds of M. jalapa and M. longiflora. None of M. longiflora flowers or
plant. Hopefully, I have attached two images of the flowers, from 2016 and
2008.

It always sets generous seed - would anyone be interested?

Judy in New Jersey where Habranthus martinez is nicely in bloom, and a
pink rain lily whose stamens appear to be equal lengths so I'll go with
Habranthus robustus. What say you all?
