Title: Crinum bulbispermum seeds available
Post by: François Lambert on July 16, 2018, 12:18:04 PM

I have a massive harvest of Crinum Bulbispermum seeds this year.  2 different plants are available

plant 1 is not very nicely scented (makes me think of a chestnut in flower), but is a Bulbispermum that every few years makes an offset.
plant 2 is slightly fragrant, has not yet made any offset.
both have identical pink flowers.  Bulbispermum is the hardiest Crinum of all and will grow happily outdoors.  if you grow these in pots it is however better not to leave the pots outside when it's freezing.

you can see the seeds here : http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=4426.msg394512#msg394512 (http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=4426.msg394512#msg394512)
you can see the flowers here : http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=10628.msg279754#msg279754 (http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=10628.msg279754#msg279754)

If anybody is interested in growing this from seeds, just PM me.  This offer is only for a limited time because crinum seeds start to germinate as soon as they are ripe.

Just like last year I have seeds available.

Different to last year, I can't make the difference between the 2 mother plants and since they flowered simultaneously there is a small chance that they cross-pollinated.

If anyone is interested in seeds, just PM me.
