Angelo, that is a very good point, and I'm not at all sure.  It came from another hobbyist, so the ID is open to question.

Nice Cyrtanthus there Jim. Very nice labels too, do you get them from Yucca Du?

Thanks, John.

I do the labels myself using zinc markers (in the trade) and a Brother P-Touch label maker on TZ laminated (UV-resistant) tape.

I get the 10-inch tall markers from A.M. Leonard, but other suppliers have them too.

OK, I looked up eucallis and sanguineus in the 1984 booklet, "A Review of the Southern African Species of Cyrtanthus" by Reid and Dyer.  The flower I have is sanguineus.

Sanguineus:  larger flower, petals recurved, single bloom in umbel.

Eucallis:  smaller flower, not recurved, up to 6 flowers in the umbel.

So perhaps I now have a second clone of sanguineus and can try to produce seeds of this species in the future.  Meanwhile, does anyone know where I can get seeds or a bulb of eucallis?

I received this two bulbs a few weeks ago and I'm so surprised as they are already sprouting their leaves, and more, how the leaves just start to get the spiral form when they appear :D
