Don't worry Greene he will not be reading this thread. I bought a really expensive giant red crinum a few years ago and he always asks about it. I think he is spoiled to my mostly frugal habits. Every once in a while though I get a little crazy and this is one of those times. I have been on a huge purple kick lately and hopefully this purchase will get that out of my system.
I wondered around the garden yesterday and stared a long time at where I originally wanted to plant it. It would have had open sky as a back drop and I decided that would not highlight the leaf color but just make it look dark and dead. I have chosen a spot that has lime green colored bamboo and live oak as a back drop that I think will show it off more than the sky would. I will try and get a picture later and see what you guys think.
David, those numbers on reviews for spring hill sure do not sound good. 50/50 chance you will be happy with purchase
