The Ancient Crinum Lily living on the island of Saint-Simon, and Iceland Sea, Georgia,

William Bartram, a notable early American botanist, largely explored the island of St. Simons in Georgia; describe vividly the landscape, animals and plants in the region with their personal encounters with the inhabitants of the island, and often their job in the food , housing, and the conversation and hospitality to him in March of this year the 1774th

Some modern botanists estimate that William Bartram's original name "Lilium Superbum" is not acceptable to replace Crinum asiaticum, that the name, Crinum asiaticum May am also not acceptable, because the housing and the colonization of the lily is firmly in mature estates along the East Coast in the United States in March in the year 1774, when Bartram discovered and described, as always here in a pure and naturalization. It seems impossible that Crinum asiaticum have migrated to the east coast of the United States, except for seeds, by understanding that can swim in salt water and germinate latter, after he was washed. With the remote control can seed floating Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic on the east coast does not seem likely because the seeds do not migrate through the southern border of Brazil and Argentina at the end of South America - against strong trans-ocean currents and cold water so the seeds do not survive the exposure to the cold through the Drake Passage near Cape Horn, in Argentina.


Near present-day Fort Frederica, beautifully described Bartram, such as a "venerable live oak trees, in the industries in which the spread has a wide avenue, the former seat (seat) of the General Oglethorpe, but now, in the Near the property of the master Raimond Demers'' (the forerunner of many descendants still live on the islands of Georgia). After leaving the city, it's 5 miles south of St. Simons, where the smell animated the breezes of fragrant whiff of Crinum, by the inhabitants, "read the white ... The delicate structure of Spadix (flower), for its large green leaves and the structure and the white flowers, which thrilled me. "


Crinum These plants grow in small trees, like umbrellas in Hawaii, with trunks up to 8 meters high, a rosette of leaves from 6 inches wide spectacularly high at the head of the tribe. In the United States does not often read not more than 6 feet high, but the root of Crinum asiaticum may be so large that in a big step. If these shoots are cut off and replanted in the soil, they root easily and grow quickly to a different light on the base with the roots on the diameter of the fingers, resulting from the bulb, like the rays of the wheel of a bicycle. A large Crinum, possibly as small bulbs, the offset may be withdrawn from the mother bulb to increase the number in a plantation. Sometimes the light bulb, itself in two large factories of the same size. The Crinum is very easy to transplant in any kind of soil and are almost never displayed growth delay or impact dramatically after replanting rights.

William Bartram in the book, traveling, he had discovered that Crinum asiaticum as "Lilium Superbum" and writes that it is, pride and vanity, a puzzling. The population has many Crinum, after two years and is on a large scale on the island of St. Simons and proximity to the hotel monastery in Iceland Sea, the famous five-star resort, where all Presidents of the United States of Calvin Coolidge and many Kings, Queens and the state and visited holiday. Giant clumps of these lilies 6 meters high are open to the public the old slave chalets on the shores of Saint-Simon, now the airport. Lily, Crinum asiaticum, produces giant clusters of fragrant white flowers, sturdy stems up to six meters high and the plant can bloom any month of the year, but the richest in the late spring and early summer. After the flower blooms, the giant green seeds, the size of a quarter, which will be planted on the top of the soil immediately green for the manufacture of small bulbs, which ultimately led to the large farms. These lilies are always in 8-11, but usually, once again grow onions after killing fixes, often in the 7th


There is a first botanical description of historic Crinum americanum a lily, which is not from the eastern USA, but these Crinum not with the description of William Bartram "large" of the leaves, since Crinum americanum has very narrow leaves and Crinum asiaticum very "broad - "leaves. It also pointed out that Bartram Crinum, 'Lilium Superbum': the "fragrant breath of Crinum .... And white flowers, which thrilled me." He has this Crinum flowers blooming during the March of the year l774 they can only be the flowers Crinum asiaticum, since Crinum americium flowers at the end of summer and during the autumn - and even in March. These facts show that the description of Lily as of William Bartram was Crinum asiaticum. by hotel phuket booking
