The best part

Crinum Peytons Place Viola Our 2005 planting of DepariaCrinum 'Peyton's Place' stands out, even in a crowded field of crinum lilies. Perhaps it's the towering 50" tall stalks, which start flowering in late June (NC), each home to 15 18 pure white, widely flared, lightly fragrant flowers. Crinum 'Peyton's Place' is a cross of Crinum variabile x Crinum moorei 'Album' from Texas crinum guru, Dave Lehmiller truly a stunner in the garden. To borrow a moment from the early 80s, Dave, we found the beef!
