Special Crinum:

This is the most special crinum of all the ones we have. It is from
Llano, Texas. It is different from any of the other crinum that we
grow.

We love to go to Llano, Texas, because it is so beautiful there. One
time, it must have been close to this same time of year, we drove to
Llano for a day trip. While driving around town, we saw these crinum
growing around the side of a small house. We stopped and knocked on
the door, and an elderly Lady answered. We asked her if we could have
a start of her plants. She was very nice and told us that we could,
and so we dug a few, and brought them home.

I kept them in pots for a few years, due to the lack of rain. Then, I
brought them here to plant in the beds. They have done very well.
These crinum are fragrant!
