Alessandro,

Looking very good and I am delighted to see that this one is not growing in your bathtub with the crinum.

Boy that's an early Nerine species! And so vigorous and leafy.

Alessandro,

A species I have grown for years, but never flowered as yet.  Well done.  I love the corkscrew foliage (I can just see one leaf coming in from the bottom left corner.  How tall does the flowers stem get, and long are the leaves?  It looks like the flowers are fairly substantial?  Nerine species are so variable, so I had no idea how big the flowers might be, although the leaves are large enough that I thought they could be up closer to bowdenii size or something?  Hopefully mine will flower for me one day.  Thanks so much for showing us the flower.

Never seen such a graceful little Nerine in a lovely lush backdrop of green leaves, Alessandro - where is its native habitat?

Alessandro,

Never heard of rehmanii in Nerine before (have seen the name in other genus though).  Looks like the flower might be similar in size to masoniorum?  And by the looks of it almost white?

Very similar to masoniorum then (except that is pink, where as yours is closer to white by the look of it).  I must admit that masoniorum is one of my favourite species as the flowers are tiny but absolutely perfectly formed (with wonderfully rippled edges).  It and angulata are probably my two favourite Nerine species, but that does depend a lot on what is in flower at the time.  ;D

That's the one.  Aren't they just the cutest nerines?  How similar are the two species (as you have them both there to compare)?  You keep coming up with species I've not even heard of before.  ::)  This is definitely a good thing.  ;D
