X- I'm not familiar with the Lace Flower, very cool.

My crinums are going nuts this year, guess they like neglect and drought. Here's a picture of just one. I call it "Alice", but I think it's real name is "Ellen Bosanquet." A couple years ago I made a comment to Ardesia (Alice) that I wanted a crinum and she said, "Oh, I have one you can have, just come dig it up." When I called for directions she jokingly mentioned it was the size of a volkswagon. I thought she was joking, not! I gave crinums away to everyone I saw that summer!

This plant is just one bulb (or it was three years ago.)
