The Jersey Lily Crinum powellii is grown on the island as part of the commercial floristry trade.In the 19th century, English plant breeders crossed two species of South African crinum lilies Crinum bulbispermum and C. moorei to create the hybrid Crinum powellii. There is a story that it got its name from the Victorian actress Lily Langtry who lied o the islands and would often have been presented with this beautiful flower after one of her performances. The crinum lilies are similar to spider lilies (Hymenocallis) and amaryllises (Amaryllis), but can be distinguished by having basal rosettes of whorled leaves, unlike those of the others which have their leaves in two distinct ranks. The posy is shown with another flower typical of the island and named after the resort of St Peter Port. It is the St. Pete's Port daisy which flowers well in rocky crevices.
