      Clivia Mk2, I just bring the pots in from the greenhouse in succession and I get them blooming for longer that way.

      Yellow ones always seem less prolific.

        Hi Pete,
        It's " Vancouver Centennial " . It's a fairly common one for Summer bedding. It's best outside in the Summer as the more light it gets the darker red the leaves go.

          I think I've got a small cutting of that, I find it a bit harder to overwinter than most.:smile:

            In S. Africa and the Arab world kaffir is a derogatory term but in Ceylon there was an ethnic group called Kaffirs and the kaffir lime is native to that part of the world.

                    Sorry about the photo, I was having a bit of a shakey moment :)

                      Mine survived on the allotment in a pot last winter.
                      Think March this year has probably finished it off.
