Crinum lilies? How deep were they? The 'wild' crinum around here put themselves DEEP (1-2').

Panosc:
Did the blooms look like this?
I dug up some of these Crinums last weekend. I was driving by an old abandoned place (the old house blew down many tornadoes ago) and saw 3 huge clusters of these plants. I took the shovel and dug up one of the plants. Man the bulbs were huge and so deep. They look identical to amaryllis bulbs. I came home and googled some plants and the pic below is identical to the plants I brought home.
Will you email me your pic and I can post it here for you .
thanks Russ

That does seem to be the common wild/naturalized crinum. I see it everywhere around here. This one came up from seed in my yard. The seeds really travel. Wonder what species it is?

Jon,I have Crinum of similar appearance,but they have never made seeds. I would love to have the seed.
One way I have always been able to identify Crinum,is that the roots are tougher on Crinum,than Hippeastrum. After a few years,I have developed the ability to seperate them in other ways,but it just takes looking at known varieties and comparing various qualities.Experience, in other words. Crinum roots are quite fibrous,usually.Hippeastrum roots readily break.

crinums are much larger and usually form big clumps.
Crinums will produce tons of seeds if the conditions are right, they like hot and humid. The seeds float and will remain viable for quite awhile, I find them on the beach all the time. Big, lumpy, misshapen and fleshy seeds.
This one is commonly known as milk and wine here in the south, also called ditch lilies here.
Some crinums, C. americanum for one, do go dormant in winter but most don't. C. asiactum is a huge plant, mine are almost as tall as me!
Marcelle! My brain worked, Marcelle has a crinum website. Here's the link.
Tally HO!
