Crinum asiaticum 'Golden Crinum'
The true Golden Crinum is actually Crinum xanthophyllum, not Crinum asiaticum.
i didnt know lol but on buried treasures site that is what they call it and that is where i bought it,it has chartreuse leaves thxs
It turns more and more yellow the more sun it gets
well this one,even as babies are chartreuse all over,i will have to take a pic and show you but it will have to be tomorrow since it is dark here
Yes, they are green at first. If I am not mistaken, Crinum xanthophyllum was imported into the US for sale in the nursery trade by Tim Chapman of Gingerwood Nursery in Louisiana. I bought my first plant from him about 8-9 years ago. He brought it back from a trip he took overseas, I remember talking to him online about this. No one could ever figure out why it had never been brought in and introduced before, as it was a very common plant in Asia. When it first became available on a limited basis here it was extremely expensive, prices for a very small offset were on the order of about $20. It was quickly snapped up by South Floridian gardeners who grew it into fantastic stands. It has proven hardy at least to zone 8B, as most crinums are hardy to 0F, its probably hardy elsewhere as well.
Crinum xanthophyllum is a distinct species from Crinum asiaticum. If grown in less than full sun theleaves WILL be green. In full sun it will gradually go yellow, especially the closer it gets to blooming.
It gets just as large as regular crinums, I have plants that are 3-4 ft tall with a spread of the same, trunks like baseball bats. But its leaves are more narrow. The bloom is white (too bad, a red bloom would have been so nice against all the gold)
Tim Chapman is also the person who hybridized Costus sp. Green Mountain.
Photo with bloom. You can see that there is a mix of green and yellow leaves.
cool thxs for the info and pic,so the one i have is different then the one youre talking about? wonder if he got it from the same person or something? thxs again
gothqueen wow I love crinums and now I will have to have one of those in your picture even if it takes me yrs to find one.
That is beautiful.
moretz do you have a picture of yours?
here is the mother plant
and here is the zillion babies she had
i hope this is the crinum,i hope i didnt label it wrong or he sent me the wrong one thxs plmk
i know mine isent the one in queens pics
Are the babies from seeds? They are so cute. I picked a ton of seeds on an abandon lot. They are doing well so far.
I have canna stuttgart for trade and would love to trade with you.

no these came off the side of the mom!!!!!!!!!!!!! plus its never bloomed i guess because it was producing so many babies lol but not from seeds
mrsspeedsgarden
sounds great how many do you want and how many will you send ? plmk and thxs for wanting to trade
Wow that is a lot of babies. What a good mom. My milk and wine and Ellen B. bloom but don't make seeds. I guess we don't have enough bees. But the place where I gathered the seeds looked like every bloom made seed. Plenty of bees 2 miles away.
I don't have anything you are looking for or I would trade.
Maybe next time.

do you have any Alstroemeria psittacina available? if so i would love to trade for some of them plmk
I think its a possibility that their crinums were mislabeled. They import their stuff from Thailand don't they? Sometimes the Thais have different names for things. They may call the plant you have Golden Crinum, but whether it is Crinum Xanthophyllum or not I don;t know, it may yet turn yellow. Can you keep it from frosting back in winter enough to get size on it to see if it may do a color change?
The prefix "Xantho" in the name refers to yellow coloration, like 'aureo-variegata" means yellow variegation and "albo-variegata" means white variegation. That is, of course, why that particular species plant is named what it is. The yellow color can be quite bright and is unmistakable. I have seen plants in Miami area that are all totally golden, very striking.
I am not trying to say anything derogatory here, or cast aspersions, not at all so please don;t think that...but I bought some caladiums and curcumas from Buried Treasures maybe 3-4 years ago and none of them were what they were supposed to be when they came up and bloomed. They in no way resembled the photos used to advertise them. SO your crinum could also conceivably be a case of mistaken identity.
That is so true. About 20 yrs ago a man my DH worked with ask him to ask if I wanted elephant ears. I told him YES. When my DH brought them home they were milk and wine Crinum. I was even more excited to get them.
I love them. Also I won the light pink from ebay. When they finally bloomed they were a white with a very pale pink strip like milk and wine only a very pale pink strip. I have never looked it up but figured it was a cross, That is why it is so pale. but the leaves look so much different. If I can get around to it I will post pictures of the leaves. I did not notice till this yr the difference.
And again I traded for a type of spider lily and I am positive they are crinums but have no idea what color yet. I would love to have them all. The burgundy leaf is beautiful.
moretz d-mail me your address as I am getting ready to mail some. I would love to trade.
This is Ellen B
And this is a no name. It is white with very pale pale pink stripes in the flower. Not anything like milk and wine. And look at the leaves between these 2 pictures. milk and wine has leaves just like Ellen B but this one is so different.
Whoops forgot the picture.
You can see a big difference in the leaves.
