Well the thing has shot up another too inches today. I'm still shaking my head about that one--I've NEVER seen a crinum bloom that early down here that wasn't in a greenhouse. I've never seen one in a greenhouse bloom this time of year either.

There are a few other things I've been meaning to show you--so I'll just "stretch" it and attribute it to all this rain. ;)

This is a Northoscordium felipponi (formerly Ipheion felipponi) that I've been told a million times won't grow in hot and humid Texas--well here is the wee little thing making a mockery of all the naysayers. I think its so cute--native to Uruguay in acidic clay soil--likes year round rainfall with a brief dry period late summer.
