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!
