    I got this from one of my aunts. This is it's first blooming. It's a little strange to me, because the stalk doesn't come out of the center of the plant, it's off to the side.
    I believe this is called a wine & cream lily? Or something like that. Anybody know for sure?

    I think you're right, Milk & Wine or something like that. I bought one off of ebay and the bulb was HUGE!!! But,it froze in my cold, Oregon climate :'(

    You're probably right Toni. It definitely reads/looks like a Crinum. I'll pay closer attention to it and see if there's any other characteristics that may suggest another variety.
