Peruvian Daffodils (Hymenocallis festalis) - WANT

I just saw pictures of these, and would I ever like to have one! Does anyone have any extras that they might be willing to part with? I don't have anything for trade (won't until next summer), but would pay for shipping, of course. Wait, I do have some hollyhock seeds as well as some gaillardia seeds, but no bulbs or plants for trade.

This is really a gorgeous flower.

I got mine at costco last spring. They were very reasonable.

Unfortunately, we don't have a Costco nearby. Not even reasonably close. :-(

I went out Sat and got bulbs at lowes,walmart and fred's. Fred's had the best buy 4 bags for 5 dollars. I found some white cherrfulness and St. Patrick's Day daffs. My walmart and lowes is about a 90 mile round trip. Don't get to go often.

I'll check Walmart this Thursday. Not sure when I'll get to Lowe's. The closest one is an hour away.

Wall-Mart or Lowe's will not have the Peruvian Daffodils, since they are only available in the Spring.

Thanks.

KB, also note that these aren't hardy for us. I planted some at the townhouse (zone 7a), and they didn't come back, so you'd have to lift them. That might also affect their availability at your local stores. :-(

They really are amazing flowers, though!

Yeah, I knew they weren't hardy for our area, but for some reason, I thought maybe I could do the 'amaryllis' thing with them now. Maybe not...

sorry, haven't got a clue about forcing them.... If they're like the ones I had, the "bulb" was this enormous tuber (like twice the size of a really huge yam) and would've been a challenge to pot up! The reason I'm a little unsure about the identity of what I had is that I didn't get a translation with them, just fell in love with the picture over the bulb bin, pointed & paid!

Think I could get my exchange student daughter who lives in Ecuador to send one up this way? Or bring a couple with her when she comes for our oldest's wedding next summer? ;-)
