I found these small Shastas blooming out front - snow princess, or something like that. I forgot the name. Then, this blubs-looking lily thing was here when we bought the place. It bloom every Spring and is really pretty, but I have no earthly idea what it is. It's about to bloom and I'll post pix of the blooms when they come, but does anybody recognize it now? It bloomed today. I am convinced it is crinum, as y'all said:
Does it bloom pink, looks like it from the bud. The leaves look almost iris, or clivia like. Are they small blooms, large? Could it be amaryllis??
Clivia is in the Amaryllis family and are also commonly known as Kaffir Lilies, Bush Lily, St John's Lily and Fire Lily. It does look smaller than an Amaryllis, it's probably a Clivia miniata
I think Zuzu is right its St. Joesph's Lilly which I've read somewhere is the mother of all amaryllis's. I have a lot of those, they multiply fairly quickly. They are found in most southern landscapes here.
yeah It does look like an amaryllis, but I never heard of them living outside in the ground, surviving freezing temperatures and blooming every year. At least, my wife & I have never been able to get an amaryllis to bloom a second time.
I have some other online friends in texas who have them out in the ground, bloom every year. Cant for the life of me remember which one it was to say where they live tho'!!
