Dear All I have a bulb (and its progeny) from the annual Kirstenbosch plant sale which has never flowered in 10 years. Having lost its label meant I couldn’t identify it as Cyrtanthus herrei or C obliquus as the leaves are so similar BUT one needs winter water and the other needs summer water. Quite a quandary. Imagine the thrill to see a little bud last month and here is the result. Clearly C herrei from the arid Richtersfeld in NW South Africa. So I have great hopes that the progeny will flower too. This plant stays in my conservatory which is heated for a few hours only in the daytime in winter and gets extremely hot in summer.
