Crinum blooming time!!

Well, it is that time of year. Crinums in bloom. Love these

Those are beautiful! We still have a bit to wait for them in this zone.
Do you know what kind they are?

I think it is Ellen Bosanquet.

Wow beautiful!

I still have a few bulbs of Crinum Hannibal's Dwarf. Do you have it? Interested?

I just bought some of those, Bev. Any pointers on growing them?

I never have any trouble growing them. Getting them to flower is another story. They are my most finicky. I was advised that their parent is a bog loving type and that more water may do the trick.

Great! I live in a dry area.

I'll put an extra helping of water crystals in their soil when I transplant them. Hopefully that will make them happy.


Thank you!

Donna

Let me know how it works out...They bloomed one year very nicely and were soooo pretty. Next year...no such luck! Someone on DG gave me the suggestion. I think I'll take a bulb and put in the water garden. Experiment time:-)

Rylaff,

Yep, Crinums are in full swing. I don't have room to grow this one, love it just the same>
