Hi Joe and all, Sorry I can't answer the question re: tropical types, as I have not grown many tropical Crinum types. I've never tried to store seeds of C. asiaticum nor C. americanum. I have stored CC. bulbispermum, graminicola, lugardiae, macowanii, and variabile so far, all at +4°C, with acceptable results. I'd say most of these will retain a useful fraction of viable seeds for up to around 6 months. I've not so far done a scientific study of this, unfortunately.
