Re: plant i.d.

It sounds like Crinum bulbispermum from South Africa.   They are fragrant and come in various colors, including pink. It's a member of the amaryllis family.

Dear All,
 
     I have an Amaryllis like bulb in bloom here that we lost the name to. I bought it at Berkeley Hort. Nursery a year ago. I planted it immediately and it soon developed leaves. It slowly increased in size all year and two weeks ago it developed a now three foot flower stalk. It has pink, fragrant flowers and looks to be producing about twelve. I vaguely remember the sticker on the box that it came out of said: 'Crino-'. Any clues?
