Meet Ellen Bosanquet

The crinums in our garden haven't bloomed for years; some of them, in fact, have never bloomed at all. I ignore them now, so I was suprised to learn that this one had developed a bloom spike--something I didn't see until it began blooming. 'Ellen Bosanquet' is a beautiful rosy pink, and--like all crinums--has a lovely fragrance.

Our garden, as I have mentioned before, is very ill. In the last couple of years, we have lost our spider lily, our red salvia, our Formosa lilies, most of our jonquils, and an entire stand of miniature peach daylilies. Our giant plume gingers have not set bracts this year, for the first time. Perhaps saddest of all, none of the amaryllis (except the potted ones on the deck) bloomed this year. We had the state analyze our soil, and we have amended it. Perhaps some things will return to health, but I know we have lost some for good.

On the other hand, our remaining pink crape myrtle (one had to come down because of Katrina) bloomed much more heavily than it ever has before, and a white crape myrtle that has never bloomed is blooming prettily. As for the downed crape myrtle--because of its absence, our 'Mermaid' rose (which used to climb up the tree's trunk) increased its bloom tenfold.
