Lee,
I think there is just one clone in the mainstream bulb trade but there are
others in existence and it is quite easy to make them using the belladonna as
the seed parent. I think the one we all have is from pollen of moorei, I am
not sure about the compatability of other crinums with the belladonnas
however.....
Maybe someone else can elaborate on this?
