Hi Gang, I wonder if folks out there grow Crinum x Royal White as depicted in Al Sisk's Web site. I think I have the same plant; it starts blooming in mid-summer and throws flowers off and on till frost. The flowers are spice-scented, nicely so and have better than average staying power. Do other folks out there grow this hybrid. I'm asking because I've run across seemingly identical plants that are spring-blooming only. Does anyone know details about C. x Royal White. My impression is that Crinum x digweedii-like hybrids fall into two distinct garden groups: spring bloomers (only spring), and repeat bloomers (that start late). Overall, there are a number of striped plants that comprise an interesting and pretty group of bulbs that seem to represent more than is ascribed to C. x digweedii in the strict sense.
