I heard that the large Boophone haemanthoides was coming into bloom, so today I made a quick visit to the University of California Berkeley Botanical Garden just to see it. Turns out this one cream-coloured (instead of pink) and smells lovely!

It will be an ongoing show as the inflorescence expands into a magnificent infructescence! Jacob Knecht ---------- - photographs: http://flickriver.com/photos/morabeza79/random/
