Hello from Florida! We have a pretty plant which is a flowering bulb. Could someone identify it for us? Thank you!
Looks like Scadoxus multiflorus. Common name Blood flower. http://images.google.com/images?q=s...1I7SUNA_en-GB&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantqrs/scadoxkath.htm
WOW! Just clicked on this posting in a casual sort of way and Holy Cow---what a beauty! One of the great things about this Forum is that one gets to see gorgeous plants like this one! Another great thing is Forum folks like Silver surfer who share their vast knowledge with us. Thanks to both of you! WOW again!!!
Certainly is a WOW. wonder if it's related to my South African bulb which also has a common name blood flower http://fernkloof.com/species2.mv?Haemanthus coccineus More info on the beauty in Marlena' place http://www.gaygardener.com/gardenspot/bulbs/bulbs027.phtml Liz
THANK YOU, Liz! My husband is a real plant enthusiast. He is 85 years young and I believe that his youthful appearance is directly related to this enthusiasm! He is delighted with your kind comment. Marlena
Hi togata57, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Hubby would LOVE to have someone like you wander around the lanai and yard. He also raises the best garden stuff--and willingly shares the spoils. Appreciate your cool WOW! marlena
Send us more photos! ---and oh boy how I would LOVE to be there to wander! Credit has to go to you too, marlena---every artist needs support, and I can tell that you give it! Am sure that you are correct that your husband's enthusiasm is directly related to his love of plants which YOU help him to realize. I am convinced that the purpose of life is to find one's means of self-expression...and the happiest people are the fortunate ones who have done so. Thank you again for sharing---your gorgeous plant is one I had NEVER seen before---and I look forward to your future postings!
Hi togata57! Aren't compliments GREAT?? THANK YOU for your generous remarks! You are on target with your philosophy of life. I feel privileged that you have asked for more photos! Will be happy to do so in a couple of days. Kind regards from FL.marlena
