Thanks, Jim, for confirming my ID of my Crinum moorei. On a different thread, I had been puzzling as to why a majority of my masses of Amaryllis belladonna bulbs in Northern California flower in early August, with large pink fragrant flowers on very tall stems; while a minority emerge only afterwards, in late August to September, with shorter stems and smaller flowers in a lighter color. From the point made below, I now think the earlier flamboyant A. belladonna are hybrids and the later, more delicate ones are true species. (The fragrance argument doesn’t hold here, but the visual description is applicable.) Does this sound correct? > Message: 14 > Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2020 19:22:56 -0700 > From: a2chaney@aol.com > To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> > Subject: Re: [pbs] Fragrance of Amaryllis belladonna > > I believe most people have Amaryllis belladonna hybrids. The average A. belladonna (true species) has a smaller light pink flower, that also does not have as tall a bloom stalk. It probably depends on the particular hybrid as to the fragrance. Much of the fragrance has probably been muted by hybridizing. _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
