This wonderful Haemanthus species comes from a hill between Steinkopf and Aggeneys (sorry but i will not disclose details) and grows there under rocks at a seasonal stream.
I'm not sure what species it is, maybe graniticus?
First i thought thats a ssp of amarylloides but the spathe valves are to thick for amarylloides.

This my darkest selfmade Haemanthus x clarkei
As motherplant i used an albiflos that is since generations here in Bavaria, pollen donor was a brilliant red coccineus with narrow leaves (red markings on the whole undersurface and nice red margins)
