green-white Crinum

Hi Gang,

There are some very attractive white-flowered Crinum that I have seen. There
are not too many white C. bulbispermum but I have seen an attractive plant
called C. bulbispermum 'Album' (or 'Alba').

Marcelle has worked with the Jumbo hybrids for a number of years and produced
some really pretty flowers, but one of the most interesting are some she
calls green-white Jumbos. Some are prettier than others. One of the best so far
has long trumpet-shaped blooms of pure white but with nice green keels. Of
course they look like Crinum, and not Easter lilies, but I'm reminded of Easter
lilies by the green-white types.

I've put up a photo of one that has no name; Marcelle calls it "best
green-white" or "green-white No. 1."

Cordially,

(Still unseasonably warm here, my January-blooming Nerine sarniensis hybrid
is happy but would prefer cooler nights).
