Mystery Bulbs / Cardiocrinium not-so-giganteum?
December 07, 2024, 08:18:07 AM
Hello! I'm new here on forums. I'm a bulbaholic and have planted over 38,000 bulbs in my medium-sized garden in the last 5 years. I just think bulbs are the most extraordinary little packets of magic!

Last spring I planted 6 bulbs that were sold to me as cardiocrinum giganteum. Two rotted, two put up just leaves, and to my great surprise—two actually bloomed.  One was about 145 cm tall and the other was only 35 cm tall. 😂 The flowers were a pretty pale green shade, with only a very faint red/purple inner marking on the petals. To me they look more like cardiocrinum cordatum, but I'm really not sure. What do you think?
