I just wish I had the knowledge to identify (by Genus and species) the flowers in our gardens and the wildflowers on the farm.
Kylee, I bow to your gardening skills and widsom...
Crinum is a genus of about 180 species of lily-like perennial plants that have large showy flowers on leafless stems, and develop from bulbs. They are found along the sides of streams and lakes in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide, including South Africa. In addition, swamp lilies are members of this genus which are cultivated for their attractive flowers like ornamental plants.
Crinum leaves are basal, typically long and strap-shaped, with colors ranging from light green to green.

Oh, Bob, they're LOVELY!! And the white ones...those are Peruvian Daffodils. I have some of those, but of course, have to lift the bulbs for winter. Aren't they neat?
If you want help identifying your things, you know I'd be happy to try! :-)
