Did someone say they had yellow Clivia? My hubby really likes that color so I thought I'd go out and look for some for him. I love it that he loves plants alone with me. He is such a good guy.
But she posted a picture of a beautiful one, too. I love them both. I want one of each and I just may go down to the neighbors and snatch me a start from hers. Hers is like yours, all orange.
I am sorry Carolyn, I misread your previous post that's why you were sounding like me.... Carolyn I will pm you later this morning since it's 4 am and I don't need to be doing anymore posting in the dark.
Carolyn--I have plenty of seeds coming ripe. (They are the red berries in the 2nd photo of my posting). I can send you some. The only problem is that they take f-o-r-e-v-e-r to grow to blooming size. I have two clivias of other colors, supposedly. They have not bloomed yet so I don't really know. One is supposed to be yellow, the other one peach. They are young-uns yet so it will be a while before I get blooms, seeds or offshoots.
Cayuga Morning, Thank you for the info. I was going to ask you if you would share the yellow seeds with me but my hubby would never wait that long. I was unaware of the peach color. I should not tell the hubby of that.
It may be interesting for you to know that here in Holland ...perhaps 20 years ago there were Clivia's available in the garden centres that were pale blueish-purple. I saw them for a couple of years and then never again since then. I have looked and looked and looked and can find them nowhere. It has me doubting my own memory. --Gurrrrrr. If you could see these, I think that you would find them quite attractive. I wonder if they had been dyed or something. Anyway...look at this webpage here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item-img/Indo ... 56783.html It looks so odd, doesn't it. Almost not real.
Wow Sjoerd! That is amazing. The leaves do look like clivia & the shape of the flowers look like clivia too. I would not have believed it if you hadn't posted that link. I was reading your post & thinking, "oh he's just talking about an Agapanthus".
Sjoerd, That was amazing, but did you read the heading...bonsai clivia 6 formaldehyde....what the heck does that mean? formaldehyde? as part of the heading? Cayuga Morning, I would be willing to try a few seeds..I will PM you. Thanks http://www.cliviausa.com/categories/Cli ... t=featured Nothing here that is anywhere close to blue. MANY fabulous colors in green, oranges, yellow and peach hues. I even saw one for $499.00.
Carolyn--That yellow is beautiful, but who can afford $499? I have thought they can be expensive because they are so slow to propagate. Here is a link to Logee's. It is where we got my yellow clivia & peach clivia: http://www.logees.com/searchprods.asp
WOW, SLOW? "Now you've gone and did it." Remember when, last year, we had this conversation???? Well I only split up one pot of my Clivia. Now you are going to make me get back out there and do the other 3 or 4 pots. I must have 40 or 50 of them. Now the ones I have split have little tiny babies next to them. I will let them stay there for a long time. Just to you all know i have many local friends that don't do plants at all but love my Clivia. So I rent them out for, FREE Many of my friends have my plants sitting on their dining room table while they are in bloom and then I go get them and bring them back after they are done blooming. Rent-A-Flower Barb.
Barb--I meant to grow from seed. At least on my plant, from flower to ripe seed takes about 6 months. Then to plant the seed & have it grow to blooming size takes ??4-5 years??? I am guessing.
