Welcome! @kgonzalka

You are very welcome. The flowers are fragrant and the yellow to yellow-green foliage makes them a real eye catcher in the garden.

One thing I have discovered about Crinums in general, is they do not like to be disturbed and it can take them a couple years to quit pouting and start growing and blooming. Even if you keep them in containers, they like to sit undisturbed until they become pot bound. They will go dormant in winter and appear to die back to the ground. In spring, back they come and when mature, they will bloom nicely.
