Amarcrinum Species, Crinodonna Lily

Unfortunately, it has bloomed only once in all these years - ans that was late last summer/early fall. I think next year after it goes dormant in late spring I'll put it in the basement for a few months to see if the cooler temps help.

So, don't throw them away--plant them. I ended up with nine separate plants.
