Episode 90 - Clivia: flowering

I took this picture of my clivia this morning.

As you can see from the photo, a red flower is growing out from the leaves margin. There are a number of flower buds in the same shoot. I will post another photo a few days later.

The flower shoot of the clivia was held up by the leaves at first (see previous posting). After completion of the remedial work, the flower buds grow out rapidly.

This variety of clivia has short flower shoot. Some varieties have long flower stems and their flowers grow out at the top of the stems.
