Dwarf/Mini Crinum

My Crinum walteri, a.k.a. minimum, always has only one bud visible at a
time and only one flower in bloom at a time, but a second may emerge from
the potting mix as the first fades. The leaves are thread-like.

The leaves on razafindratsiraea are longer and broader than those of
oliganthum, and both have much broader leaves than "minimum." My
bloom-size razafindratsiraea has leaves up to 3/4 inch wide near the
base. I can't remember where I put the oliganthum for the winter; but, as
I recall, its leaves are somewhere around 1/4-inch wide.
