Last spring I've bought a Hymenocallis caribaea bulb, and it started to grow very fast, giving a very large amount of new bulbs. But somewhere in the end of summer, leaves started to turn yellow suddenly. Now all of them are gone and no new leaves are appearing. Could You please provide any help, because i don't have any idea what's wrong with the flower. Thanks in advance. Hi!

It's natural if the lower leaves are turning yellow due to age and flower stalks leaning over as they wither. Just remove them if that's the reason. Otherwise, check to see that the bulbs are not overly wet as too much water can choke the roots and cause leaves to yellow. Do not unearth these bulbs unnecessarily as they love to be potbound. Do so only if you wish to divide the clumps to propagate new plants. Hope this helps. Hi Sandy!

What do I do now? Please contact to tell me when to unearth the blubs. I love my Hymenocallis, the bulbs grew and flowered well, now the foliage and flower stalks are leaning over and are yellowing.

Sorry, we're unable to provide answers as we're just ordinary home-gardeners, neither botanists nor retailers. We try our best to research for related information online to share here, and include some of our own gardening experiences too. You may want to read about the genus Hymenocallis and its species at http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Hymenocallis which included 2 articles from Kevin Preuss for further insights.

I ended up here matching the two, and found out even more! So i have two questions... 1. How rare is 70 - 80 species? 2. How much would the bulb retail for? Please feel free to write me back on this one... Every_American So i was looking though pictures of flowers (mostly lilies!), trying to identify the one currently at bloom in our backyard!

So i have two questions…

1. How rare is 70 – 80 species?
2. How much would the bulb retail for?

Please feel free to write me back on this one…
