Eucomis zambesiaca--outside chance some are crossed with E. vandermervii. 4. Ophiopogon umbraticola--received as O. chingii, new ID by Mark McDonough. Berries have been left uncleaned so you can admire the iridescent blue color. Clean before planting. Clivia seeds are open pollinated, only a few of each, as the bees don't do a very good job. 5.

Clivia 'Shortleaf Yellow x Shortleaf Yellow' OP 7. Clivia 'Monk x Daruma' OP 8. Clivia 'Multipetal x Self' OP--this one tends to throw interesting crested offsets. From Paul Otto: 9.
