When a giant crinum blooms, should I cut the dead flower stalk off or will it bloom from there again?

It will not bloom there again but it may set "bulblets" on the stalk.  You can then set the bulblets out to sprout.

Yes, cut them off, they're history. I was told the Queen emma crinum is sterile, and they only reproduce by suckers growing around the base of the mother plant. See my mother plant below. I need to remove and pot up the suckers you see in the photo.

On the other hand, I have Crininum asiaticum and they come up all over the place from the bulblets.

Jerry: That's what someone told me once on a posting I made. I can't recall the specifics of the posting now but I was puzzled that I didn't see new plants coming up all around my mother Queen Emma lily like they do around my C. asiaticum lilies. I think the Queen Emma is a hybrid cross, hence why it doesn't reproduce by bulblets.

No matter, as I get all the new plants I want from suckers.
