Hi Luit et al,
By far the easiest way to keep up with 'all' postings (especially if you visit the forum every few days or less), is to utilise the 'View the most recent posts on the forum' link at the bottom of the HOME page - under 'Forum Stats'.
Even if one has been away for a week or ten days then it is quite simple to scan through the ten or so pages that will appear.
I tend to check the forum three or four times a day (an addict perhaps) and always use this facility - it is so quick and you never miss a topic.

Cliff, I did try this too, but I did read several texts and thought it not so of interest, so missed
a lot of very interesting pictures.
So you have to click every message as well, otherwise....

Sounds familiar, Cliff  ;D ;D

Hi all ,

here has startet my season with flowerin of Haemanthus albiflos -the first one is a unusual plant which I have receive before two years from a botanical garden .
It is pretty different from my other H.albiflos : very broad leaves and only few leaves and very early....maybe also such a triploid form which Luit has shown in his pics from Lisse ....

Just flowering now, Haemanthus deformis

Before flowering :



and flowering :



And I agree with a previous message : I never could get any seeds from one plant of H. coccineus; I think we need 2 clones to get seeds.

Fred :
In last year it was possibly to produce from my single plant of H. coccineus 3 seeds - look here are the seedlings today ( sown : 16.November 2007 )

Great Hans,
but it seems you are THE Haemanthus specialist ! :D :P
And I suppose you had several plants flowering at the same time ?
My Haemanthus coccineus doesn't want to produce any seed but I think it will divide this year !

Fred ,

I'm far from being a specialist for Haemanthus ......I need too many species ( which are near impossible to get )....p.e. I do not have such a nice H.deformis :'( ....

No - it was a single plant which has flowered in 2007 -please look here :
http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=727.msg16572#msg16572
that's the motherplant of this seedlings

but I never had success with Haemanthus X clarkei

Hans,
I just had a look on your 2007 posts and ... thank's for pictures of flowers and seedlings !
H. x Clarkei is really nice..
I'll try to keep some H. albiflos pollen in the fridge for the next year and try to crosse it with H. coccineus.
Wait...and see  ;D

Hi Hans,
When you want to keep  pollen from daffodils and snowdrops over a longer period it must be stored in a freezer (Gefrierschrank)  instead in a fridge.
Is there another method recommended for (sub) tropical Amarillydaceae?

Hi Gerd ,

Sorry but I have no expirience with storing pollen of Amaryllidaceae -I have it never tried .
My expierence is only for storing pollen of Cacti -this works fine .
I made the pollen on a Q -tip - than in a box for dia films and put it in our fridge ( Kühlschrank ) - the importet is after my expierence that the pollen must have room temperature before using it -if it is to cool it works not .
I have produce many seeds of Cacti on this way !
