I am not Marge, but try this URL: it is a nursery specializing in bulbs
for the south. Has photos of crinums they sell. Lucky you to get some free
ones; they are EXPENSIVE!!!! I have also seen them in the White Flower
Farms catalog, but those are the standard kind sold and used as
houseplants in the north. Usually they have an orange bloom but yellow can
be found as well.
