From Jim Waddick:
Jim says, "I hope everyone is not up to their ears in Crinum bulbispermum
'Jumbo'. I have been collecting seed from plants by color and separating the
smaller ones away. Of course all plants are in close proximity here and open
pollinated so there may be some cross breeding and mixing. They originated
from seed from Marcelle Sheppard's 'Jumbo' strain over 5 years ago. All
parent plants are vigorous and have wintered over in Zone 5 with light
mulch. No guarantee that seedlings will be true to color, just from parents
of the colors listed."
1. Seed from pale pink parents - These may be pale pink 'self' or have
pink stripes along the mid-line of each petal. Foliage is glaucous and up to
6 ft long. Flower scapes around 3 ft.
2. Seed from deep pink parents - I refrain from calling these 'red', but
the flowers are evenly deep pink to dark rose and have no sign of stripes in
the deeply colored petals. Size of plants and foliage as above.
3. Seed from pure white parents - These flowers open wide and have no
hint of pink. Plants are about half the size of the above and flowers too.
Suited to even a small garden spot. Plants seem vigorous, just smaller in
all aspects.

From Dell Sherk:
10. Bulblets of Griffinia espiritensis espiritensis; evergreen; petiolate
amaryllid; pretty, lilac flowers at almost anytime of the year; offsets
readily; originally from Kevin Preuss
