Just moved to a new house (new to me) and I've been watching 4 clumps of Crinums for about 3 months now. Didn't think they would bloom this year cause the neighbors said the folks before me kept them mowed to the ground most of the time. Since no one here ever saw a bloom they couldn't tell me what color they were or anything about them. So I had assumed they were a deep maroon like the others around here. Leaves on the plants are almost 6 foot long when stretch out, slick and shiney.
Boy what a surprise...they are even prettier than the maroon and have a faint fragrance of gardina.....Terry said he thought they were the "Milk and Wine" like the ones on the Plant Data Base....looks pretty close to me....
I am going to dig these in the fall and seperate them, they are growing almost on top of each other....I would love to have some diffrent colors if anyone is intrested in a trade.......... :o)
