Renate & Paul,

Thank you for the comments. I have not registered the Interspecific.

 Here is one of Sir Peter Smithers  Clivia "Vico Yellow"  from a  tissue culture project   in Japan.

Also a unnamed orange yellow.

Both beauties in any case Arnold.

What is the size of the span on that super yellow flower, Arnold? Looks pretty wide....

[ArnoldT]

Maggi;

Measures 4 inches from petal tip to tip.

Thanks, Arnold.... makes my yellows look pretty scrawny!

My first flowering of both
Clivia caulescens and
Clivia nobilis

I am a little disappointed by the size of the flower heads in relation to the size of the plants.

Tony,
I wouldn't be too concerned about flower head size in a FIRST flowering. See what happens. (Then send them to me if you don't like them!)

I do have a question...

I had a wonderful dwarf clivia from China with a beautiful foliage form (like a fan). It seemed a bit delicate and was finally lost over this past summer. Are the miniature forms more demanding in the cultural requirements?

Hi Carlo,

I have had problems with the Chinese clivias all along.  I suspect there has been a lot of inbreeding.  My Japanese clivias have done a bit better, but they too seem to be more sensitive my Solomone plants and the South African ones.

It is, of course, the more desirable clones that are the miffiest.
