Crinum 'Ellen Bosanquet'

A hybrid Crinum. The wind has been beating it up a little, but it does like the rain.

Thanks - it is something different for my garden.
If you were to get one, Siris, you would have to treat it like its cousin, the Hippeastrum (Amaryllis), and keep it in a large pot. But it isn't very large - the plant is about 18" tall, and the bulb is only a couple of inches across. I got mine from crazy-for-bulbs on eBay, but she is in Greece.

Thank you for the information, Wylie, don't think I will be getting one, lovely though it is, the pot of my Jagus? is taking up 1/2 the conservatory.
