pics wonderful on this forum too! *grin*

Mark I am in Virginia zone6/7 so no this clivia was indoors since fall when we start having freezing temperatures. Most of the time I bring my plants outside to take their picture. Today was freezing outside so this picture was taken indoors. These 2 clivias I grew from seed.

Ah okay. How much cold can the plants take? How do you store them in winter?

Awesome flowers! Really like the smaller flowers in the back.

The mature ones stay in the garages that can go to as low as 35F and they do just fine. I think they kinda like this as these cold temps make them flower better with scapes above the foliage.

it takes a few years to get them to blooming size from seed.

growing from seed is fun, tho. but you gotta keep track o' the labels ...

i don't let mine go dormant in the winter because they are not mature enough to bloom. mebbe next year for one or two.

Here's a special on in my collection that is blooming right now keeping me occupied during all these winter storms we are getting. Hattori Multipetal that I imported from Japan a few years back as a small plant.

Wow, so gorgeous. Beautiful oranges...great pick me up this time of year.

Florid White Lips bred in Belgium for the flowering potted plant market in Europe is doing so well here in my Northern growing conditions.

Wow! That's a great hybrid. Love that it can be in a smaller pot and do well. Is it easy to import Clivia?

I grew this from "White Lips X White Lips" seed Mark.
