The Husband May Be Old...

but his Clivia bloomed this week. Orange is my least favorite color, but I have to give it up for the drama.






Kingdom: Plantae

Clade:Angiosperms

Clade: Monocots

Order: Asparagales

Family: Amaryllidaceae

Genus: Clivia

Native of South Africa
Widely cultivated around the globe
They need a long period, at least 4 months, of cool conditions
 & minimal water
The Husband's Clivia has bloomed twice in 2011- the first week of January indoors & now 6 months later in the garden.
Not to be confused with Chlamydia, I did & it did not end pretty.
