Very nice!  It is great to see Haemanthus blooming somewhere in the world during our down-season for this genus!  My humilis humilis still have their leaves, but they are starting to brown off.  Their greenhouse stays at around 45°F  unless the sun comes out.

Wow, Ray, that's a beauty.  Such a good deep pink.  I'm definitely jealous!!  ;D ;D  Doesn't take much. ;)

Here, Haemanthus coccineus is flowering in pots and the open garden.  No signs of albiflos yet, but there shouldn't be this early.

here is the normal form of H.coccineus  - the stem is different to this coarcatus form and also the petals ( they are thin) - the petals of coarcatus are very thick

Haemanthus (coccineus x barkerae) and the reverse are blooming all together this year.  This is H. (barkerae x coccineus) #2109.B with a somewhat unusual flower.

Haemanthus barkerae #2219.C, grown from seed from Silverhill Seeds.   The flowers open while the peduncle is still short, but it continues to lengthen.

I have a lot of Haemanthus coccineus, but this one is the most striking.  The flower always looks like two spikes had been fused together, and it sometimes produces another spike soon after the first.  Seeds ex Richtersveld, from Silverhill Seeds in ca. 1997.
