Crinum campanulatum is a beauty but it seems to be genetically incompatible with all Crinum species and hybrids I have attempted to cross it with. This seems to be a common experience that other Crinum enthusiasts who have grown this species have told me and I have not been able to find anyone who has successfully crossed this species even after repeated attempts. Does anyone know of or having any Crinum campanulatum hybrid successes? I have never had much luck growing it in the ground and it is still one of few Crinums I have to maintain in a pot.
