Here in Southern California where the weather has been "hotter" than usual, I have beautiful Haemanthus carneus and Haemanthus coccineus, Cyrtanthus purpureus X C. montanus (orange) and Rhodophialia bifida var. spathcea, and a miniature Haemanthus blooming. Add to that, I have two of the new succulents, Aloe Christmas Carol with their beautiful red flowers. Doug Westfall
