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

Dave- I don't always enlarge the thumbnails due to my dodgy internet connection, but this one was well worth it- very elegant flower!

Michael- there's some patience, and well rewarded, looks like Smiley

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