Hi Maria,

Very beautiful :-)))) From my heart to you and yours, my blessed wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year. After all, without health we have nothing.

Very Warm Regards,

Fred

Love it!!!

My blooms today is another clivia Florid White Lips and Exotic Peacock. Weather today is so gloomy with our first snow for this winter finally coming in tonight. I miss snow!

Terra Mystica in our first snow. Yessss!

Wow! Very vibrant Color! That should brighten you day!

So this is how Mystica bloomed for me. Smallish flowers 4 1/2 - 5 inches wide, 4 buds on a very tall scape.

Very beautiful!!!!

Those twirly curly petals reminds me of my Jungle Lady (also 4 buds/scape) so I think I would try to pollinate it with Jungle Lady's pollens and improve the flower size.

Well, yours is as pretty as Beatrice's!! I hope mine looks like yours, yours has a really nice shape.

Your Jungle Lady should definitely improve Mystica!!

Hi Maria , I have a 3/4 papilio X Jungle Lady coming soon ... first bloom

Hello, Maria! Your flowers are beautiful! I love this coloring)) blood papillio!

Elena.

Thanks everyone! I bought 3 bulbs of Mystica and now still have 4 scapes to open their flowers.

agapanthe64...How exciting! Please share it's picture may it be pretty or ugly. Haha!

I now have time to work on my picture files with pics taken by my old camera and not the phone. Here is a good picture of Magical Touch.

Of course, I will post the picture, it is always a surprise, but many brothers and sisters to come, there will necessarily have 1 that I like !

I know right Donna? I got 9 seedpods total on my 3 Magical Touch bulbs and all 3 are sending up another scape. Pollinate away!

Gorgeous pictures as usual Maria!!! You can really see the picotee - J

Here's Giant Amadeus with 7 inch flowers.

My Magical Touch is setting seed pods too! I sure hope they develop all the way... I have pollinated my second scape of blooms and now I have a 3rd bloom scape about to open up... it was a very nice big bulb from White Flower Farms.

My Magical Touch bulbs has aborted 2 seedpod now. 7 seedpods left here are looking "ok". Time will tell. Now Lemon Feather although not it's best flowers is reblooming in the middle of winter, decent 6 inch flowers. Last time it bloomed was last spring.

Your Lemon Feather is soft and graceful!

All of my Magican Touch seedpods have now shriveled. I won't try any more even though I have two more scapes coming; I'll just enjoy the flower!

One more seedpod from Magical Touch aborted. Oh well...Que sera sera!

Here is Princess Claire a few days ago when it's flowers were just newly opened with slight greenish tinge in it's cream petals that have raspberry red markings. 6 inch flowers, 6 buds/scape. It's petals now have developed a nice "wavey" effect. I think it is beautiful. Love it!

Hi Maria,

I agree :-))) She's very beautiful!!!!

Fred

Very pretty!!☺

Yes, so very subtle and beautiful.

Maria they are so pretty! I am so happy to find you here again after 9 years of absence.

Alex

Do you know what happened to Jody, Arif?

I have seen some of the others got sick and left. It is rather sad.

I believe Jodik said she moved to a colder climate with her family and has less room for plants. She stops in from time to time so you might hear from her again :) - J

Lemon Lime

Very beautiful, Elena! I'm waiting for mine to rebloom because I'm still not sure if I got the right thing. Lemon & Lime is hard to find, at least in Europe...

Anja

Hi Elena,

This really is very beautiful :-))) I had it a long time ago but now it's in heaven with all the others I've lost throughout the years. I think I'll try it again if it becomes available.

Fred

Very sweet flower!!

Hello!)) Thanks to all ! )), This variety is surprisingly stable at me, though very small bulb, blossoms it annually. I love its soft greens with a yellow tint))

This one is taking my breathe away right now as it opens it's flower buds. It is a clivia that I imported from Japan last year (April 2016). Top right pics are it's pictures when it was in bloom in Japan and right before I bought it. I'm in love!

Hi Ollie,

Beautiful colors :-)))

Fred

Pyjama or Pajama Party...not sure of the spelling since I've seen both but flowering for the first time :-)))

Maria,

Wow! This is a real beauty!! Show us a picture when all the flowers have opened...

Ollie,

Nice color on your Mocca.. looks like you'll have lots of chances to pollinate if you're so inclined. Both Mocca and Fledermaus appear to take just about anyone's pollen but of course, it's early....

Lots of lovely colors in your other blooms too.

Fred,

Pajama party is lovely. I didn't have any success with pollinating mine last year though, better luck to you.

Here it is today Donna. Yellow on the inside, red orange on outside of petals. It is quite special.

Just beautiful! The two tone effect is really special!!

Maria, that is just beautiful :-))) I have a few versicolor clivia but they're still snoozing and yours is just what I need to brighten up my day!!!

Thank You :-)))
Fred

Maria, your Clivia is gorgeous! I should say your Clivias are... but this one is really special. Thanks for showing!

Fred, I'm in love with Pyjama Party too! I tried Mysticas pollen on it and it seems to have taken, but it's still very early...

Ollie, this is really a colorful Mocca! Mine opened yesterday much paler but still beautiful.

Anja

The wife got the bulb for a Christmas present. Put it in a pot and now there's 5 blooms and over 24" tall. (she's not the greatest photographer <snicker>) but she sent me this to show off.

Very pretty!!

No Hippie blooms for now but I got lots of clivias blooming! All of these clivias I grew from seeds. The middle yellow one is a first bloom seedling from a cross I did a few years back of 2 Japanese yellow clivias.

All so different and all equally beautiful.....☺☺

Hi Maria,

Very beautiful :-)))) Quite a few of my clivia are flowering too, I even have a Miniata x Mirabilis cross I made several years ago that will bloom very shortly and for the first time. When it flowers I'll post a picture if you like.

Fred

Exciting times right Fred? Please take pics and share. Our own seedlings will be the most beautiful ever no matter what flowers they give us. Just like our children...and grandkids! LOL Talking about grandkids, my grandson (first boy in the family) will be born in just 2 months time. Now this excitement and anticipation is surreal!

While I'm here in my pc, here's another new clivia that bloomed for me recently. I imported this from Japan last year.

I wish you and your family much love on his wonderful and impending arrival :-)))))
