Light,
Your crinum lilies are doing well.  They are in pots and sent up a lot of new leaves this year and seemed nice and healthy.  There's been no bloom effort and I'm wondering if the lilies are reaching their normal size, what ever that is.  My thought is that they should be moved into larger pots which is something that can happen next year.  They winter in the cellar with the dahlias.  It works.  All the pots are brought there.  They have a nice nap and then come back out in the spring.

not sure what to tell you but it looks like what you are doing is working to keep them alive anyways. I know that they don't like to be disturbed once they've been planted so I'd try them in that same pot for one more season. I haven't had any luck with where mine have been for the last several years so I'm not sure they are getting enough sun. I know they used to bloom for me when they got the western sun in the old house. Right now they are getting noon sun and it's just not what they want.

Irises can be like that.  If you mess with them, they may very well spend their next season in a pout and won't bloom.
