Crinum Lilies are often called Spider Lilies, and some species have the spider-shaped white blooms. But not this one. This beautiful plant grows from a large bulb and forms a strong clump of strap-like leaves and beautiful pink lily-shaped flowers. Crinums are relatives of the amaryllis, and the growth is somewhat similar. All Crinums hail from tropical areas, and this popular pink one is a cross between two South African natives. It's one of the most popular lilies in the American south, but it can be successful everywhere, as long as the bulbs are lifted after frost in heavy winter areas. Crinum Lilies, also called Cape lilies, are often shared with neighbors due to their fast and easy growth. Planted around mailboxes, decorating borders, and generally adding great color wherever it grows, the Cape Lily is a beauty. (Another Crinum is called the "Milk and Wine Lily" with striped blooms.)
