"Come to think of it, I saw many Scadoxus multifloras ssp? blooming in the shade at Lotusland in Santa Barbara, CA in early July. They were larger in all respects (inflorescence, scape, and leaves) than the one I grow in a pot. I didn't see a tag, and the guide said that they were "some kind of paint brush. They look like they come from Mars." Dell, Yes, S.m. katherina are somewhat larger and more open. Doug
