Lovely to hear of the passing of plant knowledge and collections like
this.... wonderful people worked too hard to let it just disappear. This
post made my day!

Anyone know her current address? Maybe send a card to connect? I'd love to
do that!

Yes! I am also happy to hear about Marcelle. Someone should make a
website listing her contributions and genus in the world of crinums. Her
knowledge and dedication should not go to the wayside.

==================================================
Hi Folks
I spoke with a friend today, who just got off the phone with retired
Texas crinum breeder, Marcelle Sheppard, age 86. Despite rumors to the
contrary, Marcelle is fine, and now living in a retirement home near
Palestine, Texas. Although a bit feeble, her mind is sharp as ever.
She
has turned over her crinum collection/garden to one of her long time
workers, April Howell. April is trying to figure out what she’s got
and
how to possibly continue. I’ll pass along more updates as I get them.
