Don't know what happened to the link but DG was very uncooperative and slow yesterday.

I looked at the 20 bud scape and the count is now 25 blooms!!!! There were smaller ones down in there that I couldn't see at first and now that they're flushing out, well, there's 25.

I was reading about usual bud count and for most of the Crinums that resemble mine the count is 10-16. I looked at a couple other scapes, one had 16 the other 11.

I can't wait til home DNA testing kits are available, at a very reasonable price, of course. Wouldn't that be a can of worms, though!

This is "Gulf Pride", (item 220001248649), picture from eBay trader seedman01. The bulb went for US$37.00 and was about tennis ball sized.
