Crinum thaianum

Crinum thaianum from Thailand is a distinctive bulbous plant belonging to the lily family, with leaves that can reach 60 to 200 cm in length.

It is undemanding, but needs plenty of space. Plant it so that the top 2/3 of the bulb is visible, otherwise the bulb tends to rot. As the plant ages, it sometimes sends a flower stalk to the surface of the water with an aromatic and elegant lily-like flower.
