Here the Eucomis are coming up to speed, but compare the stage of Eucomis Pink Gin with that on Luit's thread for the weekly KAVB Flower Show - Lisse!
E.Eudun is now fully out and an absolute delight for a small plant.
Despite the terrible weather of the last two winters this self- seeded E. bicolor seems happy enough in the garden, others from the bicolor group are this seedling, E.bicolor alba, E.bicolor Stars & Stripes.
E.Oakhurst is a nice soft pink whilst E.Kilimanjaro is a good white.

Haemanthus coccineus x albiflos JES 1114

Arnold,

I think that is the best flower I've ever seen on the cross.  Taken all the best shape bits from the coccineus but with a great pink.  I have one of the cross but mine is the shape of albiflos but pink.  I prefer yours MUCH more.  ;D

Brian,

That Eucomis Eudun is a cracker.  What a beauty!!

Michael,

Interesting plant.  What Cyrtanthus elatus characteristics has it inherited?

The flower shape and petals and the height of the flower stem, also the anthers.
