This one comes back right on schedule.

This year, not one of my potted crinums that spent the winter in the heated barn and the summer outdoors has bloomed.  We can't keep the pots watered in this heat and drought.

Crinums growing outdoors in the ground have bloomed and are blooming, but most of them get irrigation.
