Well done! I'm glad you had a great display this year. And the leaves are interesting, too. A special bulb...

(They are also a bit frost tender but do 'come back'.)

Very nice, here is my Heamanthus multiflorus, I already posted in another thread in this forum, right now it has finished its blooming and has grown a very nice foliage:

I do love these plants as they are very reliable in pots here in zone 6 as well and produce flowers every year. Izhar, just so you know, this is Scadoxus not Haemanthus. Mine are also in flower now. Lovely pics from both parts of the world :o) Dan

Hi Dan, thanks for correcting me... :) do these plants multiply and produce offsets?

Izhar

Izhar, these bulbs are very easy to multiply, but not in pot. (they do better in the ground)
I bought one bulb in 2006 and now total of 17 bulbs in 4 years.
I wish the bloom last longer, because it is so pretty.

That is a great rate of multiplying... :) i have mine in ground too... hope it does the same as of yours, so i could gift this plant other to gardening mates :)

Lovely. They bring back my childhood memory.
Thank you for posting those pictures.

Last year I digged most of the bulbs up and put them in 3 pots, some still on the ground. They didn't bloom very much. I searched the internet and found out they didn't like to exposed their roots. When you exposed the roots, they don't bloom that year. They are in full bloom right now. Few more still coming.

Awesome! These are one of my favorites. Mine are in bloom too. I got 5 flowers this year. Can't wait for the clumps to increase!

Wow, fantastic.

A friend from work gave me 2 plants last fall. After they died down I planted them in the front garden. I was amaz ed at how quick they came up. One day the leaves were about 3" tall and in less than a week the blooms were on! I can't wait to see what they do next year...I'll be sure to move them to TN when I leave FL and my daughters would love to have some I'm sure!
