Crinum Herbertii (one of the Milk & Wine types) blooming now.

I bought 3 Milk & Wine crinum bulbs from an ebayer last summer. The first and largest one has a scape started up. The 2nd and 3rd were bought & planted together a month later. One of them has blooms now.

Herbertii has the pink stripe fade towards the edge of the petal.

I have several other crinum Herbertii planted, but this one is the first to bloom. Probably because its next to pots of my amaryllis which get watered every day.
