Most beautiful crinums I grow!!

I got this one years ago from a friend out of brazil. I am not sure which species it is I have the name around here. It has large flowers they smell like bubble gum the peddles can hang almost 1ft and twist. The plant is about 5ft tall now.

Here is my variegated Crinum. Its a bit slow I have other variegated forms but this one has the most white of any form I have seen.

These are so beautiful, Now I access Tropical forum only because of you because you always post beautiful photos of your plants.
Thanks
Kaleem

ula I like!!!!
Brian,does south america have large greenhouse like Kew Gardens and the Botanicals gardens in San Fransico And the New york Botanical gardens?
Where people can visit the tropical plants.

That's beautiful!

That Crinum looks like Queen Emma. Does it have deep burgundy leaves?

think that's the milk and wine crinum and not the queen emma...as you state queen emma has the burgundy leaves....course can't see the leaves lol...my milk and wine have very long leaves....am still trying to figure out why the white crinums form the big seed pod and my milk and wine don;t..

Green leaves. But was pretty sure this was a species not a hybrid? Then again maybe not.

brian..am certain that is milk and wine crinum...

Brian, that varigated one is awesome.

Both are awesome, Brian!

JB...I thought Milk and Wine had a trumpet flower (white) with subtle burgundy lines down the the middle of the corollas....it was sent to me as Centennial Lilly.

I have variegated one but the blooms are also white, what is the colors of the blooms of your variegated plant?

Milk in wine it is I will put a tag with the plant. Thanks for the ID I am not the best with these I manly look them up in Exotica. The variegated one also have white blooms. I have seen spotted forms also.

There is a trumpet commonly known as Milk & WIne around here. It is a very old passalong and there is a picture of it in Felder Rushing's book "Passalong Plants". You can frequently find them around old homesteads.

There is a Crinum with pink/red and white Spider Lily flowers such as yours knows as Princess Beatrice I believe. Yours is not Milk and Wine according to my sources.

Not what we call 'milk & wine'. What I've always known by that name is trumpet shape, white with a red stripe.

Whatever it is, it's gorgeous.

If you thought you were confused,which one,check this link,try not
to drool all over your keyboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful! How is the fragrance?

She's really got some beauties. Too bad she's not shipping right now.

Brian,
I have a variegated crinum that came out of a crinum asiaticum....hoping (with fingers crossed) that it will eventually bloom. It's an absolute crisp, clean, pure white, with green. If it never blooms, the foliage will still make me a happy camper.
