    Hi Kay,

    I went looking for your picture to see how it survived its trip. I have no idea where to even look. For that matter, I don't even know how to post a photo. It sounds like it came through ok.

    Take care,
    Craig

    I hope I'm not being pushy, but found the pic in gallery search, and snipped it.

    I'm glad someone was able to get it posted here - for some reason it wouldn't let me do it. Craig, I emailed you three pictures I took imediately after I un-boxed it - it is HUGE and is has one bloom today. I LOVE IT! Now, I need a PEACH-colored one!!! Craig?

    Hi Kay,

    I do remember that photo. Next year it will look even better. Those leaves will get cleaned up and it will have a full umbrel of yellow flowers for you. Enjoy.

    I'll email you separately about the peaches. :o)

    Take care,
    Craig

    Hi Mike,

    Send me an email. I don't have any more right now, but I do plan on getting to Solomone's nursery soon as well as a another nursery later this summer. Both have prety good yellows for good prices. I can usually find a random couple in bud/bloom at this time of year, but summer blooms are rarely as nice as spring blooms. It will at least prove it is a yellow by getting it in bud at this time, though. Blooming sized yellows are usually about $20 each from either nursery. If we are lucky to find some in bud/bloom, I will even pollinate several flowers with some of my better yellow pollens so you can enjoy some seeds in about 9-12 months.
    Postage varies based on location (I'm in CA) and the number of plants (=weight).

    Let me know what you think.
    Take care,
    Craig

    I attached a link of what Solomone's nursery looks like in full bloom.

    Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:571767}}

    I started a yellow clivia from seed several years ago. The seed were expensive, and only one grew. Even at that, the company said there was (only) a good chance that one would be yellow. Well, it is going to bloom -- not a great bloom, but it is yellow. Think if will be out tomorrow. I was really excited when I saw these yellow buds appear. Have been wanting a yellow one for years. Can't imagine standing in Solomone's nursery in a whole greenhouse full of Clivia.
