Response from Cynthia. Tim is correct. These are not bulbispermum. Sorry.

Macowani crosses get homes. They are not C. bulbispermums although one can never be 100% sure when dealing with garden crosses. My experiences with seedlings resembling their Macowani parents has been good! Bulbispermum seeds are usually much larger. I may have mentioned these parent plants were hardy in the ground when we had our 1-3F cold two years ago in Central Texas (but the ground did not freeze, I don’t think.) The pics I sent are the parents. > Hope this helps. Some of the striped bulbispermum types I have here were from Ft Smith Arkansas. They are stripers more used to cold, but only have an ‘occasional seed.’ We also have to calculate the effect of lengthy cold on the vitality of crinums. > On Fri, Aug 12, 2022 at 2:35 PM Jan Jeddeloh <seedyjan1@gmail.com <mailto:seedyjan1@gmail.com>> wrote: > I may have made a mistake in assuming these were more or less bulbispermum. I’ll admit I don’t know much about crinums. While beautiful they tend to want more summer moisture than I get although I am trying one (bloom dammit) I’m sending your response directly to the donor in the hopes she can provide some more information on these seeds.
