I've done some hunting, and apparently several variety do better in dry 
areas.  There are a couple of species that look similar to  mine, but 
who knows which one it really is.  Crinum moorei, Crinum abyssicum, 
*/Crinum x pranianum/* (which is a cross between the first two I listed 
done by Luther Burbank)- the picture I found looks closest, and also 
maybe Crinum jagus.  Mine has just the fainted hint of pink at the edges 
of the petals and the flower stack is actually quite red (clearly 
distinct from the other green foliage).
