Blandfordia

They are B. punicea. I have one B. grandiflora that someone gave to me,
but it hasn't bloomed. Typical of Blandfordia, they were very, very slow
to mature. I don't remember any problems germinating the seed, but the
seed has to be absolutely fresh or it doesn't germinate.

What species of Blandfoordia? I grow B. grandiflora, one year I saw in
flower, I had even B. punicea, but the plant is dead

Does anyone grow Blandfordia? I have several plants that are 10+ years
old, a couple of which are in bloom now. The stems do not develop, and
the flowers seem to nestle down in the foliage, which I think is
abnormal. They do this every year. I am growing them in a cool
greenhouse, no heat.
