Crinum 2009 (last month of the year)
« on: December 01, 2009, 07:32:25 PM »
Hi all, today I had my C. x amabile blooming. It is a natural hybrid. It is strongly scented; each tepal is about 17 cm long.

It is just 1 meter high, it is evergreen. If you can grow in a heated greenhouse it is much more floriferous!

Alberto,

Lovely to see a crinum in such good condition. Here, Crinum x powelii, which is the one I grow in the open garden, is looking very miserable from the winter weather.

Another Crinum blooming now: C. nobile. It was reduced to synonym with C. giganteum on its turn to C. jagus. This crinum flowers two times in a year, one in July and usually in December with two stalks. This plants is also strongly scented; never had a single seed, even if crossed with other members of the jagus alliance.

Very nice, Ray.  Neither hide nor hair of flowers on any of my Crinum as yet.  Then again, they're so often triggered by strong rain, and it has been a while since we've had that.  ;D
