Ina,
We need to wait and see what it looks like as it develops. It might be S.
puniceus, which is not rare in cultivation and is easy to grow. S.
puniceus is actually my favorite of the South African species.

This is what it looks like at the moment before growth has started.
Could anyone tell me which the "spotted" one is likely to be? I hope it
will flower this coming summer.
Scaduxus (spotty one)

Scadoxus multiflorus ssp katherinae's bulbs are just green with a faint
bit of spotting.
