| From Tropica: |
Crinum natans is a very beautiful and graceful bulbous
plant with dark-green leaves. Plant so the top 2/3 of the bulb
is visible. When the plant grows older (if it is thriving) it
sometimes forms small bulbs and sends a flower stem up to the
water surface with a beautiful and aromatic lily flower. The plant
varies considerably in leaf width and the shape of the leaf margin.
It is also suitable for indoor ponds, and is not eaten by herbivorous
fish. |
