Roland - The Haemanthus is not in flower just now - should flower this winter and, if it produces seeds, I'll be sure to send you some. Not sure what the background plant is - looks like some kind of orchid? Fran

Last year, Eucomis autumnalis flowered. This year it has produced many offsets but no flowers - maybe it's on "maternity leave" - ahem. Fran

Congratulations, Michael! I am not really familiar with either of the parents. How does the child stack up, regarding the display of parental characteristics?
