Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We are not exactly sure if this is the correct name for this variegated stemmed tropical Crinum. We found it in Trinidad where it is in everyone's yard, however, it seems to be very rare everywhere else. It grows to about 4' high and has great variable stem and leaf variegation. Probably zone 10 but needs testing.
