My landscaper helped me select these crinum lilies when I redid my backyard. I now want to put the exact same type in my front yard. But I am having a difficult time identifying the type of crinum these are, as well as finding them at a local nursery (west palm beach, FL). Does anyone know what type of crinum's these are? Can you provide me a name so I can better find another one?
Do you have a picture of the plant when it is flowering?
I am a total beginner here so bear with me... do all of these types of plants produce flowers? They were planted in march of this year, and there have been no flowers yet.
Here is another picture:
Yes, I believe so...lol I have a couple of different crinum and they all produce flowers...albeit not until they are good and ready...some take a while to get themselves settled in enough to produce flowers. Check out the Amaryllis thread, and you will find more info on crinums.

It looks like Crinum asiaticum.
Isn't that a little bit of variegation I see?
Maybe it will eventually become one of these (C. asiaticum var. variegatum):
Wow, I had no idea there were vareigated crinum..lol does it bloom as well?
Yes they do.
I've only had this one about a year and it hasn't bloomed for me yet. AFAIK, the blooms are identical to asiaticum proper.
Here's a pic of the variegated one in bloom:

Wow, not a very large bloom for such beautiful leaves...huh..but I would l grow that just for the leaves anyway!

I'm a foliage fan too, so I'm enjoying this one "as is".
But...... I'm not opposed to being even happier every now and then with some flowers.

I know what you mean...that is always an added bonus, and sometimes a very sweet surprise! lol
