Nicholas: It's a very attractive flower. I have seen the same plant display flower color variation from year to year. I can't say for sure but I would imagine growing conditions such as temperature, amount of and intensity of sunlight and minerals available would effect the color of flowers. Just a cursory look at images on the net show a wide color variation. This one from SANBI looks much like yours: http://pza.sanbi.org/cyrtanthus-falcatus/ Arnold -----Original Message----- From: Nicholas Plummer via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Cc: Nicholas Plummer <nickplummer@gmail.com> Sent: Sun, Mar 27, 2022 3:46 pm Subject: [pbs] Cyrtanthus falcatus—green flowers I have finally flowered a Cyrtanthus falcatus that I purchased in 2014, and I am surprised by the color. Flowers are green with only a very thin picotee edge of color. There is a somewhat similar picture by Mary Sue Ittner on the wiki, but my plant has even less color. Is this a common color variant, or is the lack of color perhaps due to growing conditions? Photo attached, I hope.
