Which Sister is Shyer?
by Bulb Hunter on 30. Apr, 2020 in Uncategorized
They are called “Twin Sisters” and it always seems that one is hiding behind the other. Therefore, I have to conclude that one bloom is definitely shyer than the other! Maybe one bloom is the youngest and always competing for attention–I was the youngest in my family so I can relate! This flower also goes […]

Crinum ‘Mrs. James Hendry’ available
by Bulb Hunter on 30. May, 2019 in At The Farm
This is one of our favorite crinum bulbs, and we value it for the open blooms, good fragrance, nice foliage, repeat blooms, and strong stalks that don’t fall over when loaded with a big bloom.
