Alessandro,

Is this Cyrtanthus mackenii a red, or is the he normal orangey
one? I have seen the normal orangey one regularly referred to as
red, which is why I ask. There are also real red forms, which does
lead to some confusion when people refer to the orange ones as
"red". I thought it was worthwhile asking, just to find out which it
is, as I have the orange one but would be interested in seed of it if
it is a red form. I have one named red form, but have yet to flower
it, so seed from a red would be most excellent. Also after pinks in
the mackenii as well (I already have white, yellow, orange etc), plus
any other interesting colours. That's why I am asking.

Thanks in anticipation

Cheers.
