I was going to virtually write exactly the same thing as Brian, almost word for word.  8)

Lovely Griffinia pictures, all of them.
Here is one of a Griffinia Hybrid, unfortunately it opens not all flowers at the same time. The flowers are lasting longer as I thought, is it so for species also?

I do so enjoy all your pictures of Griffinia :) This is a genus I'm not very familiar with, I only know that it is the closest relative to Worsleya and this is certainly borne out by the colour of the flowers. I have one little plant of Griffinia esperitensis that's not very happy at the best of times and never flowers - perhaps my climate's too warm for it to thrive?

Rogan ,

I do not believe that the heat is a problem !
My suggestion for this bulbs is :
shade , a mix with bark, scoria,sphagnum
they need a high humidity - so place around on a saucer with water !
If you can grow succsessfull Hipp. calytratum so you should have not a problem with Griffinia ...

Good luck
Hans

Hans, Renate and Alessandro,

Wonderful pics.  I'm only just catching up on the forums after a 10 day absence (will take me weeks with the amount of postings everyone has done in the last 10 days!!  :o :o).  I just love the Griffinia liboniana, the flower colour looks wonderful and I just love the leaf shape.  Such an unusual genus by the look of it.

Thanks again for the pictures.
