There is a really good reason for the name of THIS plant, isn't there!  Wonderful foliage, but just look at that flower.... see the colour of the stem,  making a foil for the smooth rich colour of the flower... delightful, I love it.

Sadly, Hans, I think that few people are growing these plants... or maybe they are just shy to show them  :-\

I'm trying. I have Cyrtanthus brachyscyphus and C. mackenii from SRGC SeedEx sown 25 February last with good leaf, so some promise there if I can keep them over winter. In addition, earlier this year, Paul Tyreman was kind enough to send me bulbs of three forms of C. mackenii. These had recently finished flowering in Oz so I potted them and watered them, as I had read that they are often evergreen, and all are in good leaf.
