Hi Rex,

I Don't recommend belladonna either for the same reasons Nhu outlined, but Since Crinum do well in tropical climates, the amarcrinums (belladonna x Crinum) might be worth a try

Best wishes,

Hi Rex,

One simple tip: don't do it. The bulb might languish for a few years and
will simply die. In true tropical climates, winter growing bulbs seem to be
pretty confused about when to grow and when not to grow. I'd stick with
tropical geophytes, unless you have a cool greenhouse or live at high
elevation.
