Re: [GSAS-Member] HAP: crinum calamistratum flowers

[Paul Wallace <pwallace@u.washington.edu>]

Cliff:

The flower is ~ 4" wide and looks like a lily.  The funny thing is this tank is 
a 60 gal with two shoplights and all but ignored for the last month (an 
emergency in CA, a trip to AK) with sporadic feeding by noncombatants.  I did a 
quick polination with a Q-tip but those that have consulted their Kasselman 
already know 'fruit not observed' so I will just wait.  The apon is also 
flowering.  Go figure.
