When my late friend Amy gave me this Crinum years ago, she identified it as Crinum rattrayi, which I later learned is a subspecies/variation of C. jagus. However, I believe it must be a different species: the flowers on C. jagus var. rattrayii are pure white, without the faint pink stripe, and the petals aren't as curved.

Elizabeth, dang, I was hoping you might know. I'm feeling the need to plant more Crinums. Perhaps Bulb Mart will have a good selection!
