Hi to all,

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

It is rather lovely, Renata  - these things can take a long time though, eh?  :D

...and sometime it is the own fault that you have to wait. 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.
Best wishes,
Renate

Hmm, yes, you are right sometimes we are at fault - but when the flower does come it is so wonderful!
