Your plant is typical of the growth forms you will see in the wild. I have found that H nortieri often makes a smaller bulb very close to the mother plant. The shape of your leaf and the red at the base also fits the description. > My opinion - Definitely Haemanthus nortieri > Alan Horstmann > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.ibiblio.org > http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php > http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
