Crinum asiaticum
« on: December 10, 2011, 07:27:13 PM »
It is the first time this Crinum asiaticum is flowering for me. It is a huge plant with a very big head of flowers at a height at about 1.8 meters. This has now become one of my favourite Crinums. The leaves are much harder and greener and are much broader than other Crinums.

Fantastic Heinie!
I think it is variable and occurs over a wide area? Is it related to the Australian Crinums?

Wow, look at the size of the plant!  The pot is quite small and it seems to not mind as it is blooming very, very well!  I haven't grown this species because I thought it would take up too much space but maybe that isn't true ;)

Thank you for all your compliments. The trunk is almost 200mm in diameter.
