Awww...thanks so much Tiffany!

Alice, the curly aspect of the petals doesn't change the ID? In so many other plants it seems that the slightest change, changes the name (but them again, I'm an orchid girl and those names are crazy-technical!)

I just came home and it's even more in bloom...when it stops raining I'll take a few more photo's...

OK, it stopped raining for a nano-second and my son was handy, so I took a few more pics...

I couldn't resist this cute little guy....

Thanks Deebie!

I'm still trying to figure out if it is indeed the Giant Crinum Lily (Crinum asiaticum)...I've tried googling it and looked at all the pics and it makes sense that it's the 'giant' one given it's size but I didn't see any photo's with the curly ribbon-like petals that mine has...all the others I've seen are straight petals. Shrug! Help! Please!

Patty, you could put your photo and question in a separate post asking for help to ID your crinum. You can also post a picture/request on the Plant ID forum here at ATP, where you may have a larger audience.

The C. asiaticums are fairly common around here, every old homestead has them and some have white anthers and some red. I have seen them with curly and straight petals, it may even be determined by the temperature or how much rain or even the soil. So many little things can influence the appearance of the petals.

Thanks Alice, and Tiffany, and Deebie...I appreciate the help, and the compliments! Thank You! Thank You!

If any of you are interested in some seeds from this thing just let me know and when I get some I'd be happy to send them to you...so much better than just mowing over them...

THANKS again!

Hey @SarasotaPatty I didn't want to give up on the ID of this plant until I talked to my crinum guru, Alani Davis. He has taken many crinum pictures for the Pacific Bulb Society. I don't know how to link, somebody help me here!
Here's what he has to say:
" I think what you have in these photos is one of the green leaved forms of Crinum procerum. The purple leaved types are so ubiquitous that the typical green leaved ones have almost gotten forgotten. I grow some pedunculatum and at least mine have a wider spreading form and don't offset or at least extremely rarely. The flowers have particularly long tubes and shorter straighter tepals that are less curly that the asiaticum and procerum clones I have. They are close in many ways so its not easy but I usually associate that more upright growth form with procerum as well as extra wide leaves which are usually shinier that asiaticum and pedunculatum types."

So not pedunculatum. In ATP database asiaticum var. asiaticum is synonymous with asiaticum procerum. It's a beautiful flower anyway you put it!

Suga, be careful what you ask for, these things multiply like rabbits here. LOL

Funny the crinum guru mentions the red ones are more common, although they seem to grow well, they are rarely seen on the east coast.

Hello,
If you have any left I would love a box of them. Unlike most of you guys, I don't have any Crinums in my yard. Just email me when you a chance.
Thanks so much

Looks like it's time to move the bricks out farther already. They're under there somewhere...!

Wow, tremendous growth in such a short time! I had Crinums at my old house, but it seemed to take forever for them to produce offsets. You've just got the magic touch Thumbs up Smiling

TY! Kabby, I defer credit to "good dirt" of having had leaves fall there for so many years.
