Clivia i.d.

(1/1)

johnw:
A late friend went to Kirstenbosch about 6-8 years ago and bought seeds there. She gave several of us seedlings and the first has just flowered with a friend but she can’t identifiy it.  She says: "It didn't have a label so guessing from caulescens, gardenii or nobilis groups, Possibly a cross."  Hard to tell anything about the mouth of the flower other than pinched.Wonder if maybe you can help?

Rimmer de Vries:
Hi John
Are the leaf edges smooth or raspy?  Nobilis is raspy with a notch at the leaf tip.
Looks like a pale gardenii from here. But possibly a hybrid?

johnw:
Rimmer - The edges are noiticeably raspy  from the indented leaf tips down 1/4 of the way toward the base, then not noticeably so. Thanks so much. johnw
