Lilies??

Titusville, FL(Zone 9b)

I have some dark pink and light pink crinum (I think) lilies. Something I read a while back is making me wonder if they are a member of the lily family or a member of the amaryllis family?? I will try to upload pics but haven't been too successful from my iPad.

So amaryllis are not really lilies?

Right. They're a different plant family.

Your crinums are beautiful. Great plants for those of us in the South.
