Crinum x powellii & Eucomis pole-evansii

Each bloom is short-lived here, Arnold. I had a great display of them
and 'Album' the third week of June. The mother bulbs on the standard
pinks bloomed this past week, a little stronger and taller, but not
nearly the display offered by their daughter bulbs surrounding them.
For the first time my 8 feet or so of Eucomis pole-evansii are blooming
well. I'm going to try to put some E. montana pollen on some tomorrow.
Any day now, the Lycoris squamigera should start blooming, but I am
guessing the 25th. Will be adding fresh mulch tomorrow.

I know Jim Waddick likes to hear about what his bulbs donated to the BX
are doing so I thought I would provide a bit of an update.
The large Crinum X powellii received in 2004 is blooming now and has
three scapes growing.
Question regarding the blooms, they seem to be very short lived. Is it
the heat here in NJ or just typical for the hybrid.
