These's so many species and hybrids of Crinums which grow here...I'm sure I'll some pics soon. I have several Crinum asiaticum - Queen Emma Lily plants. They have very large clusters of fragrant, perfumy flowers in spring - fall.
The plants become huge here...about 8 feet / 2.4 meters tall here.

Not sure how old this Crinum is...however, there's hundreds of plants which have naturalized in Palm Canyon. Crinum species and hybrids are extremely widely grown in California. It's very difficult to identify the exact name of the these plants. : > )

You're welcome! Hope your Crinum powellii does well for you! That's another commonly grown Crinum species in CA. : > )
