Episode 198 - Clivia - Summer Flowers

The past years have been busy and I did not have much time to take care of my plants at home. My clivia has not flowered since 2007.

To my surprise, I discovered earlier this week that it blossoms again - Good omen?

You can see from the photo above that a flower shoot with a number of buds is growing out from a margin of the leaves of the plant.

To avoid "holding up of the arrow" by the leaves. I cut open the leaf margins to allow more space for the flower shoot to develop and grow out.

I shall post more photos of the clivia in the coming posts.
