The 2007 Crinum season has begun and just like last year 'Alamo Village' is the first to bloom. I took a sequence of photographs over the last few days, first of the buds, then of the first two open flowers, and finally of an umbel full of open flowers. The petals at the 10:00 and 2:00 positions display a gull wing shape that I think is really pretty.

She's not just a pretty face either. Here's a shot of the whole plant so you can see that she's got nice leaves to go with those pretty flowers. The height is just a bit over 3 feet (1 meter).
