Dear Friends, I am just back from a visit to SC and GA. In SC I saw many stands of blooming Crinum asiaticum - at least I think that is what it was - planted in the landscapes on Sullivan's Island, just south of Charleston. Is this species sterile? I saw no seed produced. And in Atlanta GA I went to a fascinating nursery called 'Randy's' in Lawrenceville, just a few miles NE of downtown. They had pots labelled Crinum oliganthum (I think), but I was not familiar with this name. The plants were TINY (for a Crinum) . Leaves may have been 5 or 6 inches long and a clump of plants fit nicely in a 4 inch size pot. No flowers present, but all other plants seemed correctly labelled. Any one have any Crinum info about these two species? Appreciate your shared wisdom. Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
