Sangria Crinums July 28, 2013

This is year three for my Sangria Crinums.  They are slow multipliers and stingy bloomers.  I actually had one bloom this year.  Yahoo.  The petals are thin, pink and reflexed, pretty, but infrequent so far.  I love the foliage.  I am finally starting to see tiny little offsets forming around the main bulb.  So I see this year as a year of progress for these plants - one bloom and a little bit of multiplication. 

It has been written that it is impossible to kill crinums.  That is not true.  I killed my Procerum 'Spendens' Crinums the first year.  They look similar to the Sangrias - same purple foliage, but the blooms are darker, at least according to the photographs.  Mine died before they bloomed.
