This picture we made in August in Wisley Gardens, it was really spectacular because they had not only one of this full flowering pots of H.coccineus, no, not two - there have been four nearly identic pots of H.coccineus full flowering. There was a possibility to sit down and have a look and I was really angry becaus I had no sleeping bag with me.

Very nice way to present H. coccineus in flower!  Thanks for sharing your beautiful picture, Renate.  I attach a close-up picture of my H. deformis.  I grow the bulb in a shady corner yet it seems to enjoy the shady enviornment so much.

I can spare some H. albiflos if anyone wants (and doesn't mind the chewed leaves; one of my ducks wanted to see what they taste like).  Also a couple of small bulbs of H. coccineus.

Ray,

Fantastic pink flowers!!  I've yet to see a pink flowered Haemanthus in person.  That looks like it has a lot os good sized flowers in the head too.  Thanks for the pic.

Thanks also to Renate and Luar.  Beautiful!!

Hi to my suprise a member of the forum had some Haemanthus albiflos for sale at Dunblane early bulb show( sorry never got your name ) so my little collection is growing slowly. Cant wait till they flower and I can post them here, till then its nice to see other members plants flowering.

Ray - great to see that H humilis var humilis flowering. I've had a flowering size bulb of var hirsuta for a few years but never had a flower and can't work out what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas anyone?  I try to keep it in growth at the appropriate seasons and feed it well but no luck so far. Has nice hairy leaves which is some compensation. It does have an odd season of growth - typically it is in leaf from June until December (in the UK). I'm told this is normal.
