Has anyone grown Crinums from seed? I'm interested to know how long it is
from seed to flowering - whether it takes a couple of years, half a
lifetime
or one season!

Which variety of Crinum?
I found a reference somewhere that 3-8 years is the typical time to get
something from seed to flower, so it sounds pretty similar to the waiting
time for Cardiocrinums and Amarcrinums (perhaps) .

I have no idea which variety, Rupert. Sorry. They will be coming from my
outlaw's garden, which is now my son's and to my certain knowledge they've
been there about 30 years. All I know is that some are pink and some are
white!
