Comments (8)Hi, cynthia. Sorry I didn't see this post before. It's very odd, but I have never seen the "common" old Milk and Wine lilies available commercially. I divided a large clump of mine about a month ago, but all the bulbs have been given to friends. I sure hate it. I would have gladly shared with you. My Stars and Stripes is very close to the old milk and wine. Goweni is beautiful. I feel sure you'll be pleased with it....See MoreCrinum lilies
Comments (57)Oh my goodness..I didn't mean a thing by what I said. I was asking a serious question. Why must you take everything I say with some kind of malicious content when there is none there ? I'm getting tired of your pettiness. You seem like a woman who has lots of LOL's in her sentences , but much heaviness in her heart. I'm sorry that we can't start over and really get to know each other, but apparently that's how you want it. For example, you will always have to have the last word...go ahead...and you know, God bless you, and may your gardens grow like crazy and you be a very happy woman. I'm just sick and tired of the crap from you, when I keep trying and trying to do nothing but be your friend. It's bitterness that eats at the soul. No fake LOL's here...I think it's very sad, and I mean that from my heart. Now I'm going back to packing up clothes for the Hurricane victims...why don't you go look at every post I've made and see what else you can add to it ? I'm through with it....I give up. I've tried to become friends with you so many times, but your sarcasm and emails, I'll admit, got the best of my temper. So you know...fine, we wont' be friends, it's not like I don't have MANY of them here. God Bless...let's just part ways......See MorePlant ID ~ crinum?
Comments (14)Watering sure isn't the same as rain is it, Janie? *sigh* But atleast we're getting some rain lately. I think next year we'll have to worry about the opposite problem as this year ~ too much rain thanks to El Nino. But I'll take it! Happily. I'd plant them out, but according to Marcelle Sheppard it may be a crinum only hardy to zone 9. I might could push it if I had a sheltered spot, but I don't, and I'm afraid of losing them before I even find out what they are. So I'll keep them in a big pot and fertilize the heck out of them. I may plant one or two of the bulbs in the ground next spring and see what happens ~ hopefully by then I'll have a sheltered spot....See Morecrinum need dividing
Comments (9)Weldon, I have lifted/divided crinum only once, and that was in early November during a plant rescue. They survived (did you know that even if you cut a bulb, as long as the root wad at the bottom is intact, the bulb will survive? I didn't, but sure was glad to find that little fact out!). I was told that the larger bulbs would bloom the next year, having stored enough energy to do so, but the smaller bulbs might not bloom for a year or two. Good luck with your lifting and dividing. Probably someone with a lot more knowledge will answer your query. Personally, I'd go with what the next guy says!...See More- 9 years ago
