| Clivia × cyrtanthiflora |
I've been growing this Clivia for at least two decades, having gotten a division from a friend. A hybrid between Clivia miniata and C. nobilis - the pendant flowers come from the latter species. Usually it flowers in summer, but after last summer's dryness, it chose to bloom now. I have a friend who lives in my neighborhood who reports the same unusual bloom time. Curious.
In any case, this is a tough and dependable plant. While it does well in the ground, it also thrives as a potted specimen. A great plant for a shady mediterranean climate garden.
