× Amarcrinum

Hello ,
I cannot resist to join in Jim's remarks. Allthough not a great fan of
hybrids, I make a definite exception for this plant: it seems to combine
all the good points of both parents and is suitablet for all types of
gardens and climates. Even in a very dry mediterranean garden , it seems to
come to life again by the end of August. An other hybrid that can be pût in
the same catagory of very good garden plants is Amarine (x Nerine powelli
xCrinum moorei) ,which flowers abundantly, but later in Octobre-November.
Kind greetings

But best of all, it’s a good plant for small gardens – something I’m

reluctant to say of most Crinum. Look at the foliage in the images linked

below: compared to that of most Crinum it’s tidy.
