Hi Joakim

the variegated Clivias have been mostly raised from seed and have not yet flowered (one of them was an offset from a rather nicely patterned plant that had very good symmetrical variegation).  I hope that 2 of the plants are large enough to flower next year (this year?!...) and are likely to be orange.  When they do flower I shall post pictures of the flowers, but there is no guarantee that the flower will be that great - it is for the beautiful foliage that I have given these plants space in my, very small, conservatory.

Most were as the result of breeding carried out by a grower in Sussex (if the seed parent (mother) is a variegated plant then there is a very good chance that the offspring will also be variegated - though how strong or symmetrical the variegation is obviously rather unpredictable).

regards

John

KentGardener:
Hi Geebo

I did notice when you posted that you had used { rather than [ as the opening bracket for each attachment.  The system seems to have realised there was an error and replaced them with a load of other info.  You may be able to sort it out by modifying the post and making sure that both the opening and closing brackets for each 'in line' attachment are ] or [.

Do I see the same variegated aspidistra in your Clivia picture?

My 'conservatory' is really more of a glorified 'lean to' - but seats 2 comfortably (4 if pushed) and has enough room to squeeze in as many plants as possible!

regards

John

A few shots of my Sternbergia lutea and St. sicula in winter. One sees the size difference of the leaves between the two species.

Dionysias are traditionally one of first flowering plants here in my alpine house. This Dionysia bazoftica 'T4Z-135/Clone 1' is very early. The flowering is not very spectacular.

Flowering may not be as much as you would like, Jozef, but the colour is wonderful! Ian
