Title: Proiphys cunninghamii is flowering
Post by: Hans J on July 22, 2017, 08:11:51 AM

Hi Amaryllid friends ,

here is flowering for the first time :

Proiphys cunninghamii ( Brisbane Lily )

I have received in year 2009 some seeds from a friendly person from Australia ,some have germinated and I grow up 6 seedlings – later I have shared those seedlings with a friend ( as insurance )

From my 3 seedlings have two survived my treatment and before some days I could see a flower stem comes ( maybe this plants like our tropical weather )

Enjoy
Hans

Hi Hans
Do you grow this in full sun as shown in your photos? 
My small plant seems to prefer shady conditions?

Hi Rimmer ,

no - my pot is only for taking pictures in the sun

This pot is normal in a shady area ( beside Scadoxus ,Pamianthe ,Hymenocallis )

Good luck
Hans
