These lanceifolius were planted as seeds in 2004.  Two of them bloomed for the first time in 2010, at 6 years of age.

Bulb of Haemanthus crispus.  This is a "dwarf" Haemanthus, but has a medium size bulb.  This mature, bloom-size bulb is over 10 years old.  It is about 1.5 inches in diameter, almost circular in cross-section, and about 2.25 inches high (base of plate to tip of neck). The tunics are quite thin and pale in color.

In the lath house, Haemanthus albiflos is in bud, ready to open.  In the greenhouse,  H. namaquensis is pushing its bud upward, while just the tip of a bud is visible in the neck of one H. pubenscens pubescens and another in one pot of H. barkerae.

Jim after I read your post I checked on mine and I have a flower coming will take a picture later. What I did notice is my leaves are a bit what I would call bleached. Now it can't be the sun as we haven't had any, well only a little  ::) any idea ?

Angie,  I think mine are starved for nitrogen. The leaves are pale green between the long veins.  They have gotten a lot of overhead irrigation during our dry spell, with only one light feeding.  Yours might be hungry as well.

Only one flower on mine, but I am just happy that it is flowering for me again  :D I think I will start feeding now that I have started to water, maybe that will green up the leaves.

Really nice Bernie!

Even though I live in South Africa I struggle to find material of the scarcer species. Where do all you Haemanthus enthusiasts acquire your material?
