My Crinum collection is a distant second to Alani's, he's been at it for longer than me and also has a better climate for growing the more tender species and their hybrids. I have a few tender species growing in containers on the deck, but the repotting, and especially the watering, of container grown plants takes so much time that I try to focus on bulbs that can stay in the garden year round. I don't grow many Crinum, but last year put a few Crinum asiaticum var. japonicum seedlings out into the garden. Yesterday I noticed some of them resprouting from the base.
