Mike, Busy day, I'll write more but I suggest you contact PBS member Tony Avent of Plant Delights Nursery for crinums and other interesting stuff. His availability varies but last I looked he was under $30 for everything he had. I can give you a few things and sell a few but you need to have an idea what you're collecting - commercial hybrids, new hybrids, primary hybrids, species, weedy clumpers or solitary specimens.
