I really like the unusual white center to yours!

I'm watering my mom's plants while she's away, and her paperwhites have sprouted and are blooming. She's not even going to see them before she gets back.

Northspruce: Why don't you take a picture to show her what she missed? Paperwhites put on quite a show when they bloom.

I as well have never purchased a Clivia

I know I could grow them right out in my garden here in Florida They , I have seen, can actually naturalize even down here.

Should give it a try

I found some Heliconia plants growing in an abandoned lot this past Sunday

With bloom on them I thought they where banana plants til I noticed the gorgeous bloom

Went to the next door neigbhours house. I had just been out for a Sunday drive. FOund my way down to the city of Naples and near their Botanical gardens, which are so gorgeous.
At any rate did not happen to have a shovel in the trunk as I generally do. Shovel and clippers and bags
Anyway the neigbhour wondered why I would possibly want any of that plant Brought out two shovels and helped me dig up some of the plants
I picked off two of the huge blooms One is sitting on my kitchen table and the other I gave to a fellow gardener here.
The bloom is actually almost 10 inches long and waxy Colouring is yellow to orange Very striking plant

I am sure it is going to do just fine down here in my not so little any longer, garden spot.
So excited about this just had to write
I guess just the same as you are delighted with the bloom of your Clivia
Everyone going to Canada Blooms this year

Wish I where home, well , no that isn't so But would like to see Canada Blooms

Weather is just gorgeous here so. I miss being home, but, it is fantastic to be growing flowers and digging dirt and all that sort of stuff and even complaining about the heat, before heading to the pool for a late afternoon swim
SOrt of rubbing it in. Sounds like?
