In the greenhouse, some of the Haemanthus barkerae are
blooming, as well
as a couple H. pubescens pubescens. There is a bud on the
H. dasyphyllus
and on one of the H. coccineus. Another coccineus is in
full bloom, with
very curious -- and quite attractive -- bicolor (red and
white) bracts.

Pictures will eventually appear in my blog,
http://shieldsgardens.com/Blogs/Garden/…

The Lycoris have mostly faded except for one clump of L.
caldwellii.
Bloom is a bit spotty; what with the extend hot, dry
weather we have
been having, perhaps not surprising.
