Would anybody like some seed of Haemanthus deformis? Many of the seeds are beginning to produce radicles and so should be planted soon.

That'd be terrific, but by the time you got the paperwork for seed, they'd be little bulbs--or dried up.
In general, I'm interested in anything with "deformis" or a variant thereof in its name.

Interesting that usually a plant has "difformis" in its name rather than "deformis"
I understand that the reason this plant has the name is nothing to do with any deformity but rather to the fact that unlike its cousins it flowers with the leaves and between them... is that though this page
http://www.plantzafrica.com/planthij/haemanthdeform.htm
also mentions the short, bent flower stem...
