This is a very interesting time of year (southern hemisphere) for Scadoxus multiflorus Katherinae. The bulb is evergreen in my climate, the main plant stem has split at its base and is falling over ready to wither, a new stem has emerged and is quickly growing while a flower scape is also growing and will open in a few weeks. See photos below http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh115/… http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh115/… My bulb is quite large now and the scape will grow to 3 - 4 ft high topped by a large umbel of orange red flowers. A very rewarding bulb to grow in a shady place. Alan O'Leary Adelaide , South Australia Zone 10a
