I got a really nice surprise after eight years waiting - Scadoxus membranaceus is flowering and it was worth waiting!

I think in this case I was a long time toooo carefully and gave not enough water and fertilizer. Also I thougt it is a true "short day plant" but this seems to be a mistake, it also grows in summer when it gets enough water.
