Crinum 'Jubilee'

Crinum 'Jubilee', a hybrid of Crinum loddigesianum made by Luther Bundrandt, bloomed in the garden at the end of July. It's a beauty with very large, wide open, sweetly fragrant, blush pink flowers. Another plus is the foliage, which is compact, tidy, and broad with a satiny finish, so even out of bloom it's an attractive plant. All of this adds up to a great Crinum which I rank right up there with my other favorites, 'Mrs. James Hendry' and 'Improved Peachblow'
