Hi Ina I don't have a big collection but have a passion for collecting Crinums, I love them & i'm surrounded by thousands of hectares of forestry & rain forest so there is loads of wild critters that love to dig in the gardens, but the Crinums can do it all, drought, animals, bugs, cold.........They have even survived the onslaught of my sweet but extremely naughty little cashmere goats, munching everything down to ground level....... I have some hippeastrums & heaps of regular stuff, tuberoses & liliums, different crocus species & saffron does well here surprisingly. Lots of different crinums, but i've barely scratched the surface My mountain top is dry & the only soil is a thin layer i have created over 10 years or so. The bulbs & lilies are survivors, where little else can live........ Harsh words i know & i'm a green finger haha..........
