Hi Migael,

I found this picture very inspiring, so much so that I looked it up at:
Can Queen Emma Crinum Take Shade? | eHow.com

Here is what is funny (quote from the above URL):
"Light
Placing the Queen Emma Crinum Lily in slightly shaded conditions, especially in the heat of
the day, is fine. Planting the Queen Emma in mostly shady conditions causes a long leggy plant
with few blooms, if any. Shade also causes the foliage to fade and look unhealthy. Not providing
the optimum light conditions for this plant will not only result in an ugly plant, but will eventually
weaken it and promote disease.

The funny part is, that you photo shows it growing indoors, obviously in some considerable
shade and it looks anything but "leggy" or "ugly".

Now you have caused me a problem: I have to try and find one up here in Canada to add to my
"tropical planter"

Thanks for the pic.,
Olaf
