Crinums April 30, 2017

 

These crinums were given to me by my sister, Terry.  She is gone, but I have this living memorial to her in my garden.  They looked particularly pretty this morning.

 The crinums below ere given to me by Janine Snapp.  This crinum is really interesting.  When the flower heads go to seed the form a huge, very bumpy ball.  The ball eventually bursts open and a bunch of smaller balls fall to the ground.  Then they swell up to the size of large marbles about an inch around.  They will really spread.
