By the way, the Brunsvigia marginata is also open today. Very
spectacular deep red.

Thank you for all the positive feedback last month when I posted pictures of
the blooms.
Enjoy!

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!

Anyone who can, should come see this. It will be an ongoing show as
the inflorescence expands into a magnificent infructescence!
