Hans,
very nice pics of some nice African flowers.
When did littonia become a Gloriosa!  :o
Has anyone tried hybridising them?

My Gloriosa rotschildiana flowered very nicely, but not for long, and now the snails are eating the foliage. will it flower again later in the year? should I cut back the foliage? does it produce new flowering stems every year?

Snails will not only eat your plant, they can also infect it with a virus caught from a any weed they had fed on before.
Do not cut the foliage back. No, the "bulb" will fatten from what is available this year and next year stem will depend on what the plant obtains this season.

There are several very effective snail baits.

Alberto,

this is interesting with the snails.  I hadn't considered that they would also be major virus vectors.  I tend to thing of sucking insects, such as aphids and company.  Are they a problem with Irids, as well?

They act as virus vectors with ANY plant, Jamie. Their feeding habit implies damaging tissues. This way they carry infected sap to all plants they feed on.

Another reason not to maintain virused plants in one's collection.

Jamie ,

after my experience are many Gloriosa virused  >:(

I have received Rothschildiana from a friend ...virused
I have bought G.greenii ...virused

My self sown G.modesta is virus free  :D

My Gloriosa's are in my greenhouse ...there are no snails !

I would be from other growers of Gloriosa if they have a similar experience  :-[

Before some weeks I had a talk with the owner of a good nursery ...he tells me too that the most Gloriosa's are virused ...sigh...
