Inspiring words Leo !!!! Soon as I can find them, I will share some photos of the petal variation in C. flaccidum this year producing an unusual star shape & wide petal unlike any other year.. Also Crinum Brisbanicum produced far larger flowers this year one mature specimen measuring a spectacular 190mm on average this season, with a rose colour in their stems, most likely mineral uptake or possibly magnesium deficiency, never the less, very beautiful .. I also discovered brisbanicums this year with a pink hew in the buds.. And closer to Fernvale QLD I found some brisbanicum or flaccidum with bronze buds.. I must ask the farmer if I may have one or seeds, because he usually runs the tractor over them before they flower, but I will be keeping a close eye on them in case it is something unusual rather than caused by mineral uptake.. Its all figures crossed... I also have some very clear photos of Crinum venosum in bloom, so I must share those too.. On 2 January 2014 05:52, Leo A.
