My Crinum natans blooms from time to time. Makes for a nice surprise.

Love myself some crinums. Does it shoot an individual stalk to the surface to flower?

Yes. The stalk carries generally 3 flowers, which bloom above the surface one after the other. And they smell!

It's in bloom now. Never tried to pollinate - do you know how to? With a paint brush?
