I bought this plant several years ago at the Bulb and Plant Mart put on by the Houston Garden Club every fall. It was marked as Crinum Americana though may actually be Crinum Americanum. It sure is pretty but the flowers don't last long. They open in the evening, last the following day and start shrivelling up the following day. Can anyone say for sure what it is?

Thanks and regards,
Jim
