Whoo hoo! What an absolutely gorgeous dark pink crinum! Or I guess you could call it red. It's about as red as they get, right? Is it Ellen Bosanquet? Is it fragrant?

Helen is beautiful! Mine is blooming now also.

That's beautiful! I love crinum, especially the ones that are differently-colored.

Mine is blooming also..............thanks for reminding me that I must get pics today. That is very striking, Kathy.

Now for the story. About 10 years ago my son and I went to a sale at the Botanical Gardens.Needless to say the label is long gone. And yes, it smells luscious! This is it's first time to bloom. Now that the tree is gone it gets enough sun. It is in the back left corner of the back yard.
It is a darker shade than this picture.
I dug it up to bring when I moved to this house.

Very beautiful Kathy, love the color.

Striking plant. Beautiful color. Lou

Very pretty! I'm glad you finally got blooms!

How large was the bulb when you dug it up?

Pam, it was about the size of a big onion. I noticed yesterday I realized it has a new bloom stalk almost ready to bloom.

You waited 10 years for a bloom? What patience!

Oh, not patience. I wasn't waiting on it, I just did not think it would ever bloom.
