Hans,

Attached is a pic of the pink Cyrtanthus mackenii that I mentioned.  It was taken mid last week.  The flowers have become more apricot over time, but they are still definitely pink.

Enjoy.

Very lovely flower and colour.  Unfortunately, I lost all my Cyrtanthus this Winter due to the extreme cold in Cologne.  Interestingly, the Brunsvigia seedlings have survived!  Also, in the garden clumps of tender bulbs have survived the -15°C.  Have to wait until they bloom to know which was which.

Renate,

no, I had them in my cold house, but the heating wasn't adequate.  I do try tender bulbs in the garden when I have extras.  Cologne is typically a warm area, around -7°C at the coldest, but this Winter was the exception.  Once established, I am amazed at how well some do, while others are very sensitive to wet and freeze-thaw cycles.

I hope no-one minds me throwing in one from the Southern Hemisphere again.....

This is the second year of flowering of Cyrtanthus sanguineus x [C. sanguineus x loddigesiana].  Just a single flower on the stem again this year, so I assume it is the usual way of flowering for it.  Creamy white with hints of apricot on some of the petals, with a slight bowl to the centre of the flower.  As lovely this year as it was for the first time last year.  It hasn't made any offsets this year, but it is now in it's own pot so I have it isolated from other pots to see whether there are differences with other seedlings.

Enjoy.

Fantastic Cyrtanthus everyone! Our fields are dotted with C. contractus blooms at the moment - a very cheering sight as spring turns to summer   8)

Here's a rather ancient picture (collage) of mine of C. epiphyticus growing in its natural habitat - the Drakensberg mountains of South Africa:
