I bought this crinum on ebay a few years ago from Smart Seeds...this is their picture. It was sold as Crinum Mooreii, but the blooms don't match the picture. I have done limited research trying to find a crinum that blooms like this, to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which crinum cultivar this might be?
Thanks, Karen - Jubilee Gardens
can't help you but when you find out I want one good luck

I recognise this as Crinum macowanii, you will see other pictures which are not the true form but the plantzafrica site has exactly the same pic as you have! Was this the pic they used to sell the plant?

edited tosay I see you said that it was 'their' picture, which it obviously was not.

Thank you Wallaby!!! I've been trying to discover the cultivar for three years! Obviously Smart Seeds did a little plagiarism there.

Don't a lot of them do that! I've got some C. macowanii seedlings, 2.5 years old now from seed. They have always lived in a cold greenhouse and survived well, it is quite hardy.
