here are some summer shots of my yellow Clivia. I currently have seedlings sprouting from a selfing. I don't know if this is typical of yellows, but this one tends to bloom twice a year, although it didn't bloom this Winter. I have quite a few orange C. miniata from seed, but have never managed to grow any of the other species. Is there a trick to C. caulescens or C. nobilis?

You have a rather nice yellow clone Jamie. How old is it?

Michael,
I think it is 5 or 6 years old, but no older. I rather like the narrow tepals with the sepals narrower than the petals.

I actually like it because of the colour, as i find that yellow tone appealing. Here you just find in orange and red.

Michael,
PM me your address. I'll send you the few seed that are now ripening. Probably only three, but better than none.

Here now some Clivias from my collection ( I have to confess .....)
First is a Clivia minata 'Sweet Sixteen group'
I have received this plant from a nice person from this forum -she told me it is a very interesting plant -because this group has flowered after sixteen month

Hi Hans,
now you should cross the C.min., Sweet Sixteen Group with your C.min.var.citrina - maybe you get a yellow one which is able to flower at the age of one and a half year.

Hans,
wouldn't you sow them? It sounds like a good cross. The seedlings from my Belgian miniatas x yellow are just sprouting, but I hope to see bloom in three years. If you make the seed and don't wish to sow it, send it my way!

Jamie ,
no problem - I will pollinate it tomorrow
My personal interest are species of Clivia - not crosses
...a other problem is always to find room for new seedlings .
If the cross is succsessfull I will let you know .

The flowers are all beautiful Hans, especially the first one with the overlapping petals. It is special with the very tall scape and nice form.
