Title: Which Crinum is this?
Post by: Lvandelft on May 03, 2011, 10:24:05 PM: In the building where the Weekly Lisse Flowershow is , we saw this enormous plant which probably is a Crinum.
We would like to know if this is so and which species?

Thanks Thomas, I had a look at a special Crinum site and think this will be the one. It's just that this plant has green leaves and the pictures I found were with more colored leaves?

Post by: Lvandelft on May 15, 2011, 10:07:11 PM: Medstd, you could be right with C. amabile.
I found a picture in The Genus Crinum (Amaryllidaceae)descriptions and photographs and there is a picture that looks like the plant I showed above.

Here is a copy of this picture

Crinum amabile
