Champange Crinum Hi Gang, It has taken me forever to get the Web page up regarding a new color variety of Crinum. The color was created by Marcelle Sheppard, in Vidor, TX. She started by crossing C. bulbispermum 'Alba' with a yellow form of C. flaccidum. It is hard to describe the color of the Champagne Crinum flowers. Some progeny are nearly pale-pink with just a hint of the "champagne" sparkle. Some are even more pale pink but are suffused with a golden undertone; the best progeny have a special sparkle or brightness about their petals when the light is good. All of the Champagne hybrids that I know about have a green throat and good, robust growth like C. bulbisperumum. They are not as blue in the foliage as C. bulbispermum. If you go to the link below you can see the photos of two Champagne hybrids. Only one photo captures the golden glow characteristic of these hybrids.
