Clivia surprise! Male
Default Clivia surprise!

I got this plant from you guessed it, Ray, and was happily surprised when I noticed this flower spike. It's not the common C. miniata, but I believe C. nobilis based upon the fact that it bloomed for Ray in the spring and is now reblooming. Nobilis is the only species that does this to the best of my information. Thanks again Ray, and if I'm wrong on the id please let us all know!

Beautiful and rare ( translate expensive). My clivia was in the greenhouse when honey let the propane run out. I've cut off the melted foliage and the crowns seem firm. I am hopeful for a recovery.
