Crinum bulbispermum × C. lugardiae is a hybrid made by Jim Shields with compact, but untidy, foliage and large, well displayed white flowers with pale pink exterior keels. Photos taken May 2006 by Alani Davis.
Crinum 'Carolina Beauty' is a hybrid of C. bulbispermum × C. americanum. Unfortunately, the tall, thin scapes are not sturdy and require staking. On the plus side, the flowers are fragrant, the bulb tolerates cold winter temperatures, and it is a repeat bloomer. The closely related 'Seven Sisters' is superior.

Crinum 'Catherine' is a hybrid of C. bulbispermum × C. americanum. The scapes are not sturdy and often require staking but are better than many other classic heirloom forms from this group of hybrids which support scapes better after they form a clump and are no longer a single bulb.

Crinum Hannibal hybrid is hybrid of unknown origins distributed & presumably done by Les Hannibal. The seed parent which is reputedly C. abyssinicum, but the pollen parent is unknown. Unfortunately, it has sometimes been distributed as C. abyssinicum & pink C. abyssinicum causing confusion between this hybrid and that species, which already has a confused identity. Even if the seed parent is presumed correct the pollen parent is still a mystery. Compared with other Hannibal crosses, such as 'White Prince' & 'White Mogul', this hybrid generally begins blooming much earlier in the season, however, because of the sequential flowering, C. moorei is presumably involved. C. × powellii is a possible pollen parent, though not the only possible explanation of the earlier bloom time of this hybrid compared to the other similar C. moorei hybrids. The flowers are fragrant & the foliage is attractive. Photos taken 2006 by Alani Davis.
