I would say that this size is similar to , though smaller, than the largest Brunsvigia josephinae I've seen (though I doubt I have seen the largest possible). Even at this size, though, Tim's observation of a 20" diameter Crinum bulbispermum still beats it. -|<ipp ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 14:03:58 -0700 From: Kipp McMichael <kimcmich@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [pbs] Urginea maritima pics To: "pbs@lists.ibiblio.org" <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Message-ID: <BLU002-W13C1941E30B578290D93C5CC9D0@phx.gbl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" D'oh, the second link shoul be um2.jpg: http://www.anexaminedlife.net/bulbs/um2.jpg -|< > From: kimcmich@hotmail.com > To: pbs@lists.ibiblio.org > Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 13:59:27 -0700 > Subject: [pbs] Urginea maritima pics > > Greetings, > > Nan sent me her pics and I've posted them online at: > > http://www.anexaminedlife.net/bulbs/um1.jpg > > http://www.anexaminedlife.net/bulbs/um1.jpg > > The images don't have references for scale, but I agree the bulbs looks about basketball size.
