Joe,

Please note that 'Nestor's No. 13' is also known as 'Nestor's Pink' and
'Imperial Guard'. 'Imperial Guard' is what I am call it on the PBS Wiki
Crinum Hybrids page.

'Imperial Guard' is also on the list of C. x powellii I recommended here:

There is an attractive hybrid named 'Norma Justine' made by Dave Lehmiller
that is reliably seed fertile. It is a backcross of a C. x powellii onto C.
bulbispermum. 'Cecil Houdyshel' occasionally sets seed, but not often
enough that I would call it reliable.

Regards,

Jay
