Crinums

I believe this is a crinum lily. I received it in a trade a couple of years ago and it has just bloomed for the first time. I was ecstatic when it bloomed because it smelled SO wonderful. Does anyone know the name?

Here's another look at it...

And here's the foliage. Please excuse the mess my flower bed "was" in. I hadn't had a chance to get out and weed... plus had an invasion of snails. They just love my crinums :-( Hmmm, butter and garlic! :-)

Also,,,, note the wavy edge to the foliage. All the crinums I have of this color have the wavy edge, but the rest of my crinums don't. I think the light pink one with a similar flower also has the wavy edges.

This one is just loaded w/buds!

Here's the light pink one....

Another of the light pink one. The foliage does have slightly wavy edges.

the dark pink looks like Ellen Bosanquet to me, and the light pink possibly Crinum x powellii.

Did the person who traded have any names for them?

Gloria - Nope, no names were given when I got them. I can't even remember who sent them. I was new to trading and didn't do well w/it because I never have time to get to the post office LOL!!!

I agree, the dark pink looks like Ellen Bosanquet.

the pink one might be crinum x powelli.

Marie--I just sent the bulb planting instructions handout that you got with ellen to you "desert" email address

Have a nice weekend my friend!
