Dear John, Lee and all, I have grown Cr. vansonii the commonest species for a few years and for all intents it looks and grows pretty much like a mini - Clivia with even mini-er flowers. Although I have only seen C. haemanthoides a few times, it seems to me a strikingly different plant in form from C. vansonii. Don't know the other C. species at all. How variable are all these? Any thoughts? Any of them hybridize either with each other or Clivia? Thanks Jim W -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
