cross between C. Moorei and Amaryllis Belladonna (Aiton and Herbert), the ‘Cape 
Belladonna,’’ now known as Brunsvigia rosea. 
It blooms in late summer, and is deciduous part of the year, but the flowers are 
a delightful pink and as deliciously fragrant as the ‘‘Cape Belladonna’ parent. This 
perfume should be captured as one of milady’s rarest essences, and is fit to rank 
with the finest Balkan Attar of Roses. 
The Crinums are among the most perfumed of bulbs. Only occasionally rather 
rankly or even unpleasant in a few species, the glorious scent will follow you 
across the garden with the slightest breeze.
