Marcelle's Crinums

Crinum pedunculatum

C. pedunculatum has been called an Australian version of C. asiaticum, and for sure the plants are similar in some respects. However, for Marcelle, C. pedunculatum grows differently, blooms at different times, and just looks different from C. asiaticum.

C. pedunculatum comes from coastal areas and inland low areas along the eastern coast of Australia. It enjoys wet conditions but blooms easily for Marcelle in a 20-gallon container where it only gets rain water (about 45-50 inches per year in Vidor, TX).
