Hey Diane, I'll PM you. Yes, I'd like a couple. Per ES' suggestion, I found a friend in SoCal who will dig me up one, but I'd like to try growing a seed of those other colors. I'm not too old to do seeds, like buying green bananas, right?

Clivia seeds are large and fleshy, between the size of a cherry pit and a hazlenut. They would need to be shipped in a box, not an envelope. Legal international shipping requires adhering to the proper permit system

Lol, I've returned a message to you. No one is ever too old to start seeds! However it might take a bit longer than turning green bananas yellow!

Once again, thank you all for the helpful advice stretching back to September on this thread. Cheers!
Having this beautiful plant blooming inside during such a dark and cold time of year is wonderful. It seems to emit a light of its own and is very cheerful looking.
It's been a process, I truly believed that the hard frost it suffered in autumn would be the end of it. This is my first time with Clivia so I hope I get better in caring for it in the years to come. Based on my experience with this one I would recommend Clivia to anyone. It has been a very forgiving plant!
I've left some seeds to mature and this one has offshoots that I think can be divided. The plant is very beautiful however I believe this is the common color phenotype. Probably not worth jumping through the hoops to ship internationally. If anyone in Austria is interested, drop me a line! I'd be happy to share.

Thanks William! This plant brings back fond memories of Eswatini and South Africa. Thanks for your help with it!

It has opened up a bit more. I think I'll leave it with this. It is a wonderful plant, most especially as I look forward to spring. Thanks again everyone!
