I received these three plants together as Haemanthus coccineus but they
are all different.

looking back through the list i came across an entry from 29 Oct 2012
Haemanthus dasyphyllus from the Kamiesberg - "both surfaces light green
with a few red bars .... mostly covered with long soft white hairs" Further
on in the description the hairs are described as "long, soft and shaggy”
from page 106 of the Haemanthus revision by Dr Dee Snijman.

could the first plant be Haemanthus dasyphyllus ? I do not have access to
the Snijman book

Can anyone help on the id of these other Haemanthus ?

Thank you
