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? rita's lily ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden )
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 :'(
The milk and wine or wine and cream....those may be local common names but I think what you have is a Crinum campanulatum http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantcd/pli ... incamp.jpg If not this one then one of the other species of Crinum.
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.
