I hope someone experienced with Crinum can answer this question that arrived via the PBS website. If you can help, please write directly to Rafael Leonidas at the address below. To help with the English, he is asking whether a Crinum graminicola bulb that is 20 years old and has a diameter of 8 to 10 cm is so old that it is likely to flower and die soon. Is it monocarpic? He doesn't want to buy it if it's likely to die without making offsets, I think. Thanks! It is such a good outreach for PBS to have people who can answer these questions, which arrive from all over the world. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: PBS website contact:///Information/ about crinum Graminicola Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 13:18:38 -0500 From: Apache <apache@http://www.ibiblio.org/> Reply-To: Rafael Leonidas <rafaelgtsturbo@gmail.com> To: janemcgary@earthlink.net This is a message from the PBS website for janemcgary. Good morning I\'m from Brazil, I have a question about a crinum graminicola.Antenses of I make a purchase would like to know if a plant of this with a 20 year old diamentro of 8 to 10 centimeters in size would be close to dying for the age? I know this plant takes a long time to reach flowering time, but its life time in ideal conditions I do not know. Could you help me with this question? I have long been looking for this plant plant, but I was afraid to buy it so old. I\'m on the way to a comeback.
