Crinum powellii
Is crinum powellii (pink) available here? The common milk and vine lily is crinum herbertii i think. Although there is another form but i think it is not crinum powellii.

Re: Crinum powellii
Khabbab bhai what are those bulbs which the seed shops sell by the name of 'Crinum pink'?? I had bought one last year, the plant is huge but no blooms yet... identifying a crinum is a tough job without seeing its bloom..

Re: Crinum powellii
I am interested too.I contacted african bulb exporters.They have lots of crinum varieties and amazingly they r priced very high.I wonder which varieties/species are available here and why are they cheaper?

I planted Crinum powelli white and pink bulbs but brought them from abroad. They are sprouting satisfactorily. Maybe ask Pride Seed. He is getting Clivia for me from Karachi. Maybe he can help with getting the crinum also.

That's what he said. I did however find pink clivia at chanandins and bought two. Each for Rs 200! A bargain compared to prices internationally.
