There are lots more blooming too. Peak will probably be this coming weekend, if you are in the neighborhood on Sunday afternoon.

An invitation to visit that I'll bet many of us would love to be able to take up, Jim!

What a beautiful selection of clivias, lovely colours.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
This is a cross between two wild-collected "pinks" known as 'Glady Blackbeard' and 'Umtamvuna Dark Pink'

As the individual flowers age, they fade to a nice pink tint. First bloom after many years in my greenhouse.

This is an interesting Clivia: a cross between a Chubb Peach, from Sean himself, and Dave Conway's 'Meagan'. Previous crosses of 'Meagan' with a yellow had produced orange (wild type color) offspring. I was not expecting this peach at all! The cross is my #2164, and this may be the first plant from the batch to bloom. I plan to hang on to this plant.

Beautiful looking plants Jim

I uncovered a pair of almost-white seedlings over the weekend. Actually, a couple visitors to the greenhouse noticed them first.
This is #2187.A

and this is #2187.B

The digital image emphasizes the pink heritage and pale background color of these sibling. The cross, made in April, 2000, was [Solomone Pink #2010 X Solomone Pink #2012]. I am pretty sure these have bloomed before -- there is a spent scape from a year ago on one of them -- but I never noticed them before. Maybe this year's "white" appearance in bright sunlight is a passing fancy.

This is real late and I didn't see the bloom until it was fully open.
Here's a bit of the story on it.

Something very appealing about the paler colours and 'Vico Yellow' is very elegant.

Clivia gardenii from Midlands, Natal.
A bit pale as found in basement under dim light.
