I live on the Guadalupe river in New Braunfels and have three different kinds of crinums around my garden area.

I will try to take a picture of it when it is in full bloom and put it on this website. I also have other crinums in a partly sunny spot and no signs of a bloom yet. I LOVE this plant!

In the few months of growth last fall, it produced several side bulbs that are now almost as large as the original plant. I will eventually remove these and transplant them to other areas in my garden. It is a great specimen plant for a large, dramatic accent for a sunny spot in a tropical garden.
