My Ammocharis (was Crinum) baumii is blooming again.  Ammocharis coranica has already bloomed, and A. nerinoides is in bud.  Here is A. baumii:

Thesde are quite surreal Jim.  I am intrigued by these pots. Can we have a brand name and pic?

Thanks

The pots are the heaviest plastic I could find, but my supplier, A.M. Leonard Co.  < www.amleo.com >, seems to have dropped them -- cheap always supplants quality.  This plant is in a 1- or 2-gal. size.  They are marked only with the size, in cm., i.e., diam 18, H 18 for the 1-gal size.  One size, the "5-gal." size, is also marked "Made in Italy."  These I can reuse mutliple times of the years.  All other plastic pots I've bought have been use-once-and-throw-away.

Today, Ammocharis nerinoides is blooming.

Crinum moorei f. album is doing exceptionally well this year, as is its progeny from seed sown last autumn.

My Crinum moorei have petered out.  We left their pots sitting out in full sun last year, and they really did not like that.  Besides, bulbs get old and these came a long time ago as offsets, so there may be some build-up of viruses at work as well.  Yours look very nice.

Crinum razafindratsiraea is blooming.  I never get seeds from this species, so I probably have only one clone.



This grew from seeds donated to the IBS SX by Dave Lehmiller.

X Amarcrinum howardii flowering outside in Denmark in late November (zone 7) and the 2015 temperature average is heading for the highest Danish average ever - interesting.
