Roland, I was thinking of the Scadoxus.
  Did the leaves just die off off the first flower head?

For scadoxus the same
first the first flower without leaves
then the leaves came
and later the second (smaller) flower

Haemanthus humilis ssp. hirsutus Piet Retief start flowering
Impossible but I overlooked the flower-but
it was hidden behind one of his large leaves

This may not even be South African, but.. a friend is growing this from seeds labelled Anomatheca verrucosa, but he doesn't think that's right, any ideas?

Roland - I have one South African bulb, Haemanthus depressus, that has persisted indoors for me since I brought it home in 1992.  Flower not very photogenic I think but the large pair of leaves are utterly spectacular and cause comment all year round.  Fran

I can't find anything about Haemanthus depressus
Are you sure the name is correct
or maybe it's a synonym
Can it be Massonia depressa
Can you post a picture from the leaves and flower
