Boophone haemanthoides in bloom at UCBG
I heard that the large Boophone haemanthoides was coming into bloom,
so today I made a quick visit to the University of California Berkeley Botanical Garden just to see it. Turns out this one is cream-coloured (instead of pink) and smells lovely!

It will be an ongoing show as the inflorescence expands into a magnificent infructescence! Jacob Knecht Last edited by Morabeza; 08-06-2010 at 05:47 AM.

I just checked my old bulbs and it looks like they are all pushing leaves, so no bloom for me this year

Mine produced pink flowers and immediately transformed into rather dull disticha.
 They will be removed. T

Not sure I am understanding you on this Tim.... are you saying your heamanthoides turned out to be winter growing disticha? That's not so bad is it?

Yes, exaclty Allen. I have a ton of disticha, but now no large haemanthoides. They cost more too. Grrrr.
