Tammy@Deja Vue Designs on Sep 28, 2012They look like Crinum lilies to me... Do they smell funny? Mine bloom white...and some bloom pink. Mine get about 2-2 1/2' feet tall.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Sep 28, 2012They do look like a Crinum bulb. Let's hope she takes your advice and they bloom for her so we can find out for sure.Helpful Reply

Sow and Dipity on Sep 28, 2012Yep....that's it! Our hardiness zone here is 7 ( well, some years and only in a few micro climates) but mostly we are a safe 6....so I have not seen these bulbs being sold in our northern nurseries. That would explain why it probably hasn't flowered either, too cold. She gave me a nice big bulb so I get to plant it and see this unique specimen next year too....lucky me:) I knew I'd find the answer if I posted it here..( the collective knowledge on this site in all the area's is incredible!) Thank you guys.....I'll give her a call and let her know the mystery is solved!Helpful Reply

Tammy@Deja Vue Designs on Sep 28, 2012and yes....her problem is....they like to have a LOT of sun!! They usually bloom in mid summer....my bloom especially well right after a rain....around July. They may not bloom for you the first year....but I'm willing to be that if you get them in a sunny location....they will the second....and maybe start setting off new bulbs.Helpful Reply

Sow and Dipity on Sep 28, 2012Thanks Tammy....that's what I figured when she told me she had them on the north side of the house, so I advised her to get them into the sunniest area she could find. I can't wait to call her today and let her know.....how clever she'll think I am that I found out what they were ( wink ). Thanks again!Helpful Reply
