    Crinum paludosum flowers
    Author: Ivan Lätti

    Crinum paludosum flowers are mostly white. Pink ones are less common, while fading to pink does occur. Dull yellow patches are present in the base of the flowers in picture. The inner three tepals appear bigger than the outer ones.

    The straight filaments curve up near their tips that are attached to the midsections of the anthers. The pale thread-like anthers curve banana-like, appearing greyer in the shade.

    The longer styles also curve up and darken near their tips. The dark parts are usually pink, the stigmas crimson (Duncan, et al, 2016; iNaturalist).
