Hi Carol,

Nature has beaten us in making two of the most spectacular natural Crinum hybrids we know with C. zeylanicum as a pollen parent. Both of the tropical hybrids Crinum amabile  (asiaticum x zeylanicum)  and C. augustum (possibly C. douglasii (pedunculatum) x zeylanicum) were found in the Malay-Indonesian region.

The main limitation in growing C. zeylanicum is that it is a tropical Crinum that  is rare in collections.

Cheers
