 Had this for a couple months, fast grower and starting to clump. Nice plant so far. 

Crinum Asiaticum var procereum in the family amarylidaceae

Mine love full sun and lots of water. The blooms fill the air with a wonderful aroma. Pups easily and grows quite large.

Forgot to mention that all parts of the plant are highly toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation upon contact of sap on skin. Touching the leaves is no problem.

Good note! Crinum "juice" KILLS my skin (even worse than Philodendron "juice")! :rage: It also REEKS! :sick:

That being said, I still enjoy a few variegated Crinum and C. 'Queen Emma' in my garden ^_^ just have to stay on top of cutting back all the pups :rant:

Naples (inland), FL - technically 10a but more like 9b in the winter :hmm:

Also, look out for lubber grasshoppers (if you have them in Mexico). They'll make an eye sore out of beautiful specimens.
