Title: Nerine or??
Post by: cohan on November 19, 2009, 08:00:36 PM
it may not be possible to tell from this photo, which i think is a capture from one of those africa live cam sites; a friend was asking for id on behalf of organisers who want to be able to archive the photo accurately..
they thought nerine; it is 'in the Sabi Sands area (near Kruger Nat park) of South Africa'
thks for any tips..

tks, mark, i'll pass along the suggestion... with an image like the one provided, i feel if an id is to be made, it might well be based as much on location as anything, unless there are multiple species there...

It is without doubts a Crinum. To ID it I need something else, leaves, shape...

Rogan may prove the best bet for advice here.... Calvin is off to Thailand, is he not?

tks, alberto; yes, not much of a shot; thats why i thought if id were possible, it would be based on location as much as the vague image..
