Good morning folks,

here are some pics of a plant i bought last autumn from P.C. as Haemanthus namaquensis.

Im not complete sure that this is namaquensis, i will be sure when the leaves are full developed (but the relic from the old leaves look like nama.).









Best wishes

Good Morning Forum,

i have one good and one bad message......

first the bad: the pollination of my flowering namaquensis hastnīt worked....the "stem" ist drying out...


Here the good news:
now i can be sure that the plant is Haemanthus namaquensis, here you can see the undulated leaves:


Here is my second plant, the leaves are also undulated (the plant make leaves but no flowers... :'()


Best wishes

Ah, well, Bernie, at least there is SOME good news!  ;) ;D 8)

A question to you and the other amaryllid fans here: Do you  think that the pollination may have failed because this was a young plant?

Hello Maggi,

the plants are not young, the bulbs are yeryyery big for Haemanthus namaquensis & i think they are flowering sized since many years.

I think that this spezies (and some others) is not self fertile

 :(

...but i have pollen in my freezer and hope the second plant will flower 2009.

I've only flwered Haemanthus coccineus and albiflos as yet, but both of those I have found to be mostly self sterile.  2 clones of the species and you can set seed to your hearts content, but a single clone, not matter how many flowers of it, I find usually will not set any seed for me.  I have about a half dozen different clones of H. coccineus out at the moment, but haven't hand pollinated this year as I always get so man yseeds that I don't know what to do with them!  ::)

Hans,

They are sooo special!. Could this be grown just like a Clivia, or is it more tender or needs less water?.
