This is a hybrid we raised by crossing Habranthus martinezii with H. robustus (in the form Russell Manning)

Habranthus brachyandrus is flowering well this year. this is the second blooming and there is a "double header" which appears to be the product of two stems fused together.
the last pic shows the comparison between it and Habranthus gracilifolius
cheers

Habranthus ruber is one of the most beautiful Habranthus-species. In the opposite to many other Habranthus-species, habranthus ruber is flowering at the end of the growing period. Normally it has two flowers at the end of the stalk.

The Habranthus tubispathus is reliably. They are flowering three days after watering/rain.

The Habranthus caerulus was a bit later than the Habranthus tubispathus but also reliable with its flower after the watering.

The Habranthus versicolor is flowering after a heavy rain (artificial).
