Here my Haemanthus crispus blooming. It is difficult to say it is that species without leaves, but believe me it is!

Hello forum,

this year im happy
 :D

All my 3 Haemanthus spec. nova Lüderitz/Namibia are flowering now
but
what make me perfectly happy:
my 2 Haemanthus namaquensis make 3 florescenses together, i hope i get seeds this year when i can cross-pollinate the 2 plants ( i think they are not genetical identic clones because the inflorescenses looks a bit different in colour).

Please keep your fingers crossed that it will work

Good night

Alberto,

   What is the size of your Crispus?  Mine is very small, about the size of my thumb but I was told it's bloom size, whether or not it blooms this fall or not the leaves themselves are amazing :)

Josh, you are right, the flower is small! Has you ever got seeds?

-Haemanthus "spec. nova Lüderitz (Namibia)" plant 3 make some berries

-All 3 "Lüderitz" together


-And the last picture shows my smallest red Haemanthus, bought as coccineus but i think thats a small ssp. or so (Hans got one plant from me some years ago). Im happy that all 5 plants in the pot will flower this year

-a pot with "normal" coccineus
