bulbs blooming in winter

Hi Gang,
I visited some friends in Houston yesterday, they have not had a frost this
winter, except for a bit of frost that accumulated on car roofs one night. I
was happy to see C. agustum in bloom and bud on December 31. It was 80 F.
Crinum agustum is a splendid winter bloomer if there is no frost. Here, in
Conroe, 50 miles north where I saw C. augustum in bloom, all my Crinum (except
C. bulbisperumum) have lost their leaves due to frosts.
Cordially,
Conroe Joe
