I've been growing an H. narcissiflora for the last 6 years or so. Flowers every year and often looks like it is developing seed pods thereafter. However, the pods invariably shrivel up after a few weeks and inspection of the contents reveal no seeds. Three years ago, I received an Ismene sp. in BX441 (Bob Hoel). It flowered for the first time this year. The leaves and flowers look exactly like the H. narcissiflora. The Ismene sp. was just finishing up flowering when the H. narcissiflora began (maybe an overlap of two days). There were the usual shrivel-up seed pods on the I. sp., but the seed pods on the H. narcissiflora continued to develop. I just cleaned out the H. narcissiflora seed pods today. Two normal sized seeds (by normal, I mean similar to other Hymenocallis seeds I've harvested), and about two dozen seeds that look pretty much like pine nuts. Should I bother trying to sprout the 'pine nuts,' or would that just be a lesson in frustration? Also, I read an article a few years ago that strongly suggested H. narcissiflora was a natural hybrid of an unidentified Ismene and some other unidentified amaryllid. Are any plants grown from the seeds likely to be (new) clones of H. narcissiflora, or potentially have other characteristics? Thanks, Mike, Zone 6B in the Finger Lakes where the 1st bloom from Eucharis grandiflora (BX423) opened today _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
