I have 2 Haemanthus coccineus finishing blooming in a in a large pot for about the tenth time in No. Calif. They are a wonder. No leaves as blooming begins. Up pops a thick, firm green stem adorned with black spots bearing a large bright red orange blossom. It gradualy rises to a meter tall with a blossom that lasts a month. As it blooms a pair of large, thick green leaves with black spots on their backs grow to a foot long. These leaves cover the pot for months and then evaporate completely before next bloom time. In past years I never thought about or noticed seeds. However, this year I rubbed the blossoms together. Voila! A half dozen small marble sized pink seeds on each bloom. I don't think they last long, I don't know how to keep them, I'm too old to see them bloom, and its too late for Bx. Therefore, I propose to break rules and give them to knowledgeable members who give a donation to Bx. If interested please contact me. _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
