Crinum With Unusual Foliage
James Waddick (Tue, 30 Dec 2003 06:24:05 PST)
Dear Davids;
I agree that it looks like fairly typical C. x powelli alba.
Not unusual to me, but I grow few Crinums.
Never had a seed on this or various more typical including
some named crosses. Hundreds of flowers. All sterile although
occasionally one starts to swell, but then deflates. Have C.
bulbispermum around too and that may stimulate seed formation by bee
action.
Best Jim W.
