Amarcrinum Dorothy Hannibal Kniphofia via both Jim Waddick andxAmarcrinum 'Dorothy Hannibal' is a hard to find bi generic hybrid (Amaryllis belladonna x Crinum) from the late California crinum breeder Les Hannibal, who named his creation after his wife we assume he really loved them both. For us, xAmarcrinum 'Dorothy Hannibal' makes a compact clump of glossy green leaves topped, starting in mid September (NC), with 2' tall stalks of 12 15 deep pink, lightly fragrant flowers.
