Clivia miniata
Posted: Sun Jul 07, 2019 5:41 pm
I received this rather large plant in a big clay pot last fall as a hand-me-down. He didn’t know what it was — never bloomed, he said — I thought it was an Amaryllis, and have been caring for it accordingly although he was correct and it did NOT bloom for Christmas or even later in the winter.
So, imagine my delight when I saw flowerstalk and flowerbuds on it last week! ...And, today, having caught a splash of brilliant orange among the large container “tropicals”, I hurried around to the other side of the big coffee tree/shrub and the all-over-the-place containers of figs, and found this — to my astonishment, It is a Clivia miniata with significant amount of yellow in the blossom.
