I obtained a Haemanthus labeled as H. carmineus from Charles Hardman a number of years ago. It flowered this week and an image can be seen at: http://gpbotanicals.com/images/plants/… I checked the pbs site, google search and the book "The Genus Haemanthus" by Deirdre Snijman but can find no reference to a species carmineus. I thought maybe it was a mislabeled H. carneus but the PBS wiki states that H. carneus stamens do extend past the perianth. I will try to key it out tomorrow. Charles usually was very good at keeping names and labels correct. Any suggestions? All the best, Michael Homick Stevinson, CA USA
