This Pink beauty surrounds a large greenhouse at a Garden Centre but no one in the Shop knew its name. Can anyone identify it for me. Thanks, if anyone responds.

Hi Carol. I've noticed photobucket has changed its resizing options and it looks like you have selected Avatar rather than Message board? And sorry, I can't help. :(

Hi Carol,

It looks very much like a Day Lily (Hemerocallis), but not sure which one. ???

It is Crinum powellii. A rather interesting bulb.
