DESCRIPTION: Twelve Apostles is a very rewarding crinum in many respects. Most of all it is a heavy bloomer and has bloomed every month of the year for us except February and March here in northeast Florida, zone 9. If we didn’t have freezing weather, it would bloom every month of the year. Although it is one of the tallest crinum we grow, the scape is strong and does not flop over like some. The flowers open white and develop a blush of pink by the second day. During cooler months they have a light pink stripe on the keel (outside of the bud) and have a pink blush down the center of each flower petal. One of the most distinguishing characteristics is that the flowers point upwards at about a 45 degree angle and don’t hang down like many crinum. We have recorded as many as 16 flowers on one scape but about 11 or 12 is more common on a mature bulbs. Flower scapes have been as tall as 48″ but reach about 64″ to the tops of the flowers. Our largest bulb was measured at 5″ in diameter. Mature bulbs offset slowly but regularly forming 1-2 offsets each year. We are offering this for the first time on EBay in 2014. During the daytime they have a musky-anice fragrance similar to bulbispermum but smell sweeter in the evening more like crinum asiaticum. They will form beautiful clumps if left undisturbed for many years. These plants have more erect leaves and a small clump of bulbs requires several square feet of space. We grow over 1000 different crinum including about 350 of our own hybrids. BACKGROUND: We are of the opinion that this is a cross of C. bulbispermum x C. asiaticum. The grex name of this type of a cross is eboraci. It is our opinion that this is a very old cross that has been widly distrubuted over the Southeast United States in particular mostly as a pass-along plant. This bulb was found growing in Pensacola, Florida by a crinum collector. We are aware of very similar bulbs found in Tallahassee, Cantonment, and Quincy, Florida. Bulbs have been found in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana, and South Texas. For practical purposes, all of these found bulbs are the same with only very minor differences, if any. The more common, and probably the correct name, for this bulb is Twelve Apostles. Scott Ogden, in his book, Garden Bulbs For The South, says there are exactly 12 flowers, but we have found this is not true. There are at least 2 other bulbs in circulation that are the same, but have different names: Pecan Tree Inn, and Regina’s Disco Lounge. We believe these are the same as Twelve Apostles after growing all three of them for many years. GROWING CONDITIONS: This is a hardy and easy to grow bulb requiring no special care. Because of having bulbispermum as one of its parents, it can take colder weather, probably zone 6 with heavy mulch. It tolerates a wide range of soils. They should do best planted in the ground in full sun or partial shade, but they will also make excellent container plants. They can survive nicely out of the ground for very extended periods if allowed to dry.
