Very nice, Jacob. Dave Lehmiller claims that all the C. minimum in cultivation are actually Crinum walteri. Not that this makes a material difference in the rarity or value in growing this little gem, which ever name is appropriate. I, too, have one of these bulbs, which I think came from Charles Craib's t.c. work. I tend to go along with Dave on crinum name assignments. I have not so far been able to get mine to set seed itself by any other pollen, nor has its pollen worked for me so far. Has anyone gotten seed from C. "minimum" (or walteri), either direction? I grow mine in a 1-gal. pot in my standard gritty bulb mix. I think I see the tip of a bloom bud showing in the neck of my bulb right now.
