Hi

How do you pollinate Haemanthus coccineus "by hand" ? Some plants, eg. 
Sciila madierensis (flowering alongside) I can more or less just bang 
their heads together, or the bees, if there are any still around, do it 
for me. Haemanthus want a bit more care. No humming birds here in the 
UK. The long hot summer has ended and the lawn is going green again. 
Looks as I am too late this year as the stems on 3 different plants are 
beginning to curl over, but next year ?? I have H. albiflos too but not 
tried with them.
