It is maybe around 7ft tall, i have already described the sizes of stems and fruits in the post.<br /><br />Kingdom - it can also mean a huge sum!<br /><br />Tina - the purple-stemmed is One's photo, she promised to periodically visit it to look for the flower as they are still immature, not flowering yet.<br /><br />Stephanie - its size really suits only wide gardens, maybe ours will not be able to host them.

I hope you will be able to time your visit when the purple-stemmed one flowers.<br /><br />Kathleen Scott - this crinum becomes dormant during our dry months, maybe coinciding with your winters, when they are dormant too. I hope you get your much prayed for rains.<br /><br />Cher - thanks for coming over, i hope you visit again.<br /><br />Mark and Gaz - i am actually also amazed by its size, my first time to see that variant too.<br /><br />Bom - my specimens are the photos.
