Wonderful to see clivia in bloom again... I used to have two large ones and didn't water them through the winter- they normally did very well, but one year that got a horrible problem with mealybugs and I ended up trashing them... I still miss them... LC
I don't know why Clivias are so expensive and hard to find. It's almost as though few people buy them because they're too dear, and that's why they're dear because they don't sell! They were far more common about 20 years ago. I guess we have the cheaper Amaryllis instead now as a winter bloomer.
We love to spend time in the garden, watching the birds is one of our favorite things. We also love to recycle, so there are loads of trash to treasure and many curb side finds that make up our garden.
Such a beautiful colour!
