Clivia

The Clivia is blooming again. These are the ones I repotted last year. WOW, It sure brightens up the greenhouse during a drab Winter.

What is a clivia? Is it a lily? It sure is pretty.

 

Donna S, It's in the Amaryllidaceae family.

 

Thanks Barb. Will have to look for it.

 

I started several from seed last year. I am patiently waiting for them to grow. They are on winter vacation along with about 60 other houseplants. They sure take their time about growing.

I remember seeing this last year and drooling over it then. Nothing's changed! That's gorgeous.

 

Barb, how old are the plants? Did you grow them from seed?

Jerry

 

I just LURVE your Clivia. I have had those off and on for years. I haven't had any for a number of years now...it does me good to see yours now.
Lovely things those.

Merci meid.

 

No Jerry, They multiplied in the pot with their mama. It was overflowing. They must be 3 or 4 years old. Why Jerry?

 

Barb,

Yours are beautiful! I love the color & the shape.

Jerry--Unfortunately, clivia grown from seed take quite a while to get to blooming size. Hang in there.

 

So what color are yours?

 

Hi Barb--
Orange with a yellow throat.
