Ellen wrote of Crinum x powellii: "I excavated my pink ones last year and
discarded them - far too much leaf for the flower power..."

I'll bet the roster of those who have eventually dug out Crinum x powellii
because of the poor bloom to foliage ratio looks like a who's who of north
temperate horticulture! Actually, let me modify that: not only a roster of
who's who but also a roster of those with very strong backs or "staff".
