Dear friends, Crinum season is upon us here. Although bulbispermum, the first, has come and gone, the later such as x powelli in its various forms and 'Super Ellen', and related, including a gorgeous 'Rose Parade' Also blooming in a pot is C. americanum. I see from wiki pix http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… that maybe Jim McKinney grows it. True? I am wondering if it might be hardy in the ground there. Jim Shields do you grow it in the ground in Indiana? Jay Yourch in North Carolina? And is it really such an aggressive spreader Alani? Thanks for the tips. Jim W. -- Dr. James W.
