It sounds as if I have several seedling bulbs of C. buphanoides that I'll not likely live to see bloom!  Maybe I should work up a trade with someone at least 20 years younger than I am.

The flowering time is about 8/9 years according to a good source they take slightly longer than other crinum plants
