Hans,
All 3 are excellent. I particularly like the density of the head on the last one. Beautiful!!

Paul - thank you
I'm also happy for this old hybrid - I have it searched for a long time .
The flower looks for me more like a S.katherinae typ ....but in winter it is not evergreen .

Hans,
Interestingly, I have a shoot currently starting here on Scadoxus puniceus 'Magnificus' (I don't think the name is valid anymore, but whatever it is it appears different to the straight species I ahve seen elsewhere). The red shoot is about 2 inches tall at the moment, but I think thick enough to be a scape, not just a growth shoot. I think it is a bit early from memory, although I am fairly sure it has flowered very early in previous years too.

Updated photo from today (18th August). I'm not sure whether people are interested in seeing this as it continues to grow?
