Dear Friends, I have been wondering about the hardiness of Crinum 'Elizabeth Traub'. This is supposedly a hybrid of "Ellen Bousanquet' x C. scabrum. Both are marginal here - they survive, but bloom every other year or less. Any chance Crinum 'Elizabeth Traub' is any hardier than just 'Ellen B' ? Anyone have experience with both and in a cold climate. By the way 'Ellen B' x bulbispermum produced 'Super Ellen' which is very hardy and a winner. Thanks for info. Jim W. -- Dr. James W.
