Them May Be Giants - Crinum asiaticum 'Giant Crinum Lily'

 What with a break in humid ninety degree temperatures to a breezy relatively dry
 upper seventies. I better take advantage these glorious conditions and do some
potentially back and shovel breaking digging.
.













Giant White Crinum - Crinum asiaticum planted from bulblets eleven years ago
and have yet to bloom. Look great as a Stand but need more sun light and
sometimes covered in unsightly rust.


Nearly broke this steel shovel in two while digging these giants from their lair.

I've read where they don't like to be moved but I have no other choice. Yard
space is at a premium thinking that this very spot could be better utilized by
another. As indicated by this all knowing Bromiliad flouresence pointing to
this same location now vacated by the Crinum and could be the new home
for a Paw Paw tree.



I happen to be rich in brand new t-shirts, what better way to sun shade this Paw Paw
from some potentially damaging sun rays. Bare in mind what was too little sun for these
giants could be way too much for this Paw Paw.

Now, I have to figure where to plant these giants.
