We can compare it to this rascal determined to bloom. It is JC Harvey put into a gallon pot last October, thoroughly ignored through 5-- 28F freezes. I noticed it putting up a scape (which defies all crinum experience I've ever had for this early in the year ). I decided any crinum behaving in this manner deserved a permanent home, so I plopped it (a real technical term there) into the back border. Watch it offset like crazy and never bloom again for me.

Robert,you are our resident crinum expert. I'm working more with the smaller species these days because of the sheer size of some of these. Very hard for me to dig and find room for more large species. Rain lilies behave much better for me!
