Ellen Bousquet,Crinum

The 'seeds' I was talking about I guess are what you call 'bulblets'? They form on the bloomed out stalk. They are about the size of a chestnut.

Beautiful crinums, Tropicman, Dutchlady and Larry! And thank you all for the nice info (in a very friendly format too!) about them! I think I'm developing a new "craving"!

Stumbled on this thread. Crinums are some of my favorites!! I have been wanting to go see Marcelles gardens in person one day. I have about 7 varieties, a few I even know the name LOL. I got Crinum amabile from the Tropical co op this spring. Mine isn't this big yet, but isn't it impressive!! The last picture on the page shows the size of this one!

DL1.do you have a yellow flowering one?

YELLOW!?? tell me more....

Bushland, TX(Zone 6a)

I heard some where I believe it was in Hawaii,they have one called the golden crinum!
With yellow flowers,Hmm might have been in Fuji.
Off to work!

will investigate, you definitely have my attention.

A yellow? Oh My! I have a Golden one but I don't think the blossoms are yellow. It's another I got this spring so haven't seena bloom yet.
It seems that I did read about a yellow somewhere, but can't remember where. Oh that would be a must have!!

Dutchlady, it seems as though Marcelle does have the yellow

La-la-la-la I can't hear you! That's a gorgeous yellow! La-la-la!

Yes, I had already found that out too - I googled it as soon as I heard. Seems it's pretty hard to come by and not very stable...

Yeah I'm afraid we don't have enough cool weather for it. But it is lovely!!
