Crinum flaccidum

Near Salta, Pichi-Richi pass, Flinders Range, South Australia.

Flowers a good yellow in cool weather, citron yellow in hot. Soil pH, 8-9. Spring growing and flowering.


This one is Crinum flaccidum. I suspect this comes from a tetraploid form as the flowers from this site are easily twice the size of flowers collected at different sites.

I have crossed this with the C. 'Bradley's Giant'. I am reasonably sure that C. 'BG' has C. flaccidum involved in the hybrid.
