Lovely colour, Alessandro, any chance of seeing a photo of the whole plant?

Congratulations, Alessandro.  Beautiful.  Do you grow any of the other colour forms?

A good colour on your Calostemma; the yellow form is almost like a tazetta narcissus!
Did you grow yours from seed? If so, how long did it take to flower?
cheers

I have fun trying to miss the Calostemmas here with the mower when trying to keep the grass down. They certainly have an interesting bulb and roots.
