Marcelle received this hybrid from Mercer Arboretum.  It may have been produced by, or obtained from, Thad Howard of Texas. 

Eagle Rock

This hybrid flowers easily and but increases slowly.  Apparently the clone was found by, and named by, Joe Werling in a garden in Eagle Rock, California.  It produces few seeds for Marcelle.

Hannibal's Dwarf

This hybrid of C. moorei and C. americanum was created by Mr. Hannibal.  It is vigorous and easy in the garden, increasing better than almost any other Crinum.  The plant is small for a Crinum, with flowers held only about 18 inches tall.  It produces a heavy early summer bloom in East Texas followed by sporadic flowers until cold weather.

'Marcelle Sheppard'

This miniature plant is a cross between C. oliganthum and Rose City Schoolhouse C. scabrum No. 1.  The plant is not as small as C. oliganthum, but it is small as Crinum hybrids go.  Mr. Works reports that the foliage is 4-8 inches long and light in color, more like the color of C. scabrum than C. oliganthum. 

Mr. Hannibal's Early Flowering Pink

This is a C. macowanii hybrid produced by Mr. Hannibal.  It flowers early and does set some seed (not a lot), and it produces offsets but not rapidly.

Peach Blow

This hybrid produces lovely flowers and increases easily in the East Texas garden.  The color has been described as pale-lavender, or lavender-pink.  In mild climates the plant is nearly ever blooming.  'Peach Blow' pollen is often viable with other plants.

Peachy Keen

Peachy Keen is a beautiful flower created by Dave Lehmiller.  He created it by crossing Crinum flaccidum (yellow variety) with C. moorei var. schmidtii.

Rodger Croker Memorial

Crinum 'Stars and Stripes'

The plant was created by Thad Howard, a cross between C. scabrum and C. erubescens.  It has excellent deep red coloration on clear white petals.
