[Alessandro.marinello]

the flower not is completely open, but I cannot attend

Alessandro,
That is beautiful and one of the species I have to obtain still.

Heinie
I did not expect, is also for me a surprise, one seeds of 2007

Alessandro,

So it is on of the more open species by the look of it then?  Doesn't appear to be formed into a tube like so many Cyrts.  Not a species I have heard of before, so no idea what it "should" look like when open.  Thanks for sharing.

[Heinie]

Alessandro,

Paul T has a good point there. Is your one not perhaps Cyrtanthus brevifloris like mine on the photo below and your flower need to open still.


The Cyrtanthus huttonii is a orange tube form like the example below from PBS.


It may be a Cyrtanthus flavus if it does not open more like this example photo from PBS website.

Heinie refersto the PBS site in his post...and has shown photos from there.... for anyone who does not know, The Pacific Bulb Society is a great place to learn about all sorts of bulbs....

this is an alien , what makes in mine pot of the C. huttonii, certainly not is C. flavus, the flavus has the thin leaves

[Heinie]

Alessandro,
The photo of C brevifloris is from my garden but the other two from PBS, which I borrowed for examples, like Maggie advised. I would like to see a photo of your plant when the flower is fully open. There only a few yellow cyrtanthus species.

[Alessandro.marinello]

Heinie I have made other photos, the flowers seem not to open a lot, the leaves are not of the C. flavus, aspect in order to see the other flowers

[Heinie]

Alessandro,
I think that you may have the C brevifloris there if the flower opens more.

[Alessandro.marinello]

Heinie thanks, also I do not see other solutions, I hope that the other plants are C. huttonii
