aha - thats why I included the photo - seems that what it really is. the bella donna ones foliage die back when it flowers, & nor are they an annual.

thank you - I looked at that listing when I did a search for 'crinum' - the ones I want [that I had], I know can survive under a metre of snow in the winter - drought like hot norwest gales in the summer - & still look good.

Just a bit more- the Bella Donnas/Naked Ladies, have maroon coloured stems- the crinums are green stemmed. The Ladies do not grow as tall as the Crinums.
I have heaps of patches of Crinums in my garden but they are all in leaf at present- no flowers yet- they come in mid Summer as i recall. I would be happy to put up an auction for a clump for you, but think it would be the wrong time to do it! If you can hold off until the end of Summer, I think that would give then a better chance of thriving, when the leaves have died off. You would have to remind me to put it up.

so which one of the two types do you have! my mother is in the bay of plenty [Kawerau] & I won't be able to visit her until at least March.

thank you - do you mind if I keep you as a 'last resort' option. & will see if I can source something more local.
I'm still on the lookout for any pink cinums. especially since there seem to be so many varities & none available at any nurseries.
