Clivia

As some of you may know, I love to grow plants indoors as well as outdoors. One of the plants that I have grown is the Clivia. Will divide my clivia later today and see about giving it the care it needs. It does seem that my benign neglect was not terrible and actually beneficial which is good.
I love Clivia which I first saw bloom in Carmel where they are garden plants and are randomly placed where ever there is room for them. In our gardens, they would not survive if left outdoors.
Apparently, there are clivia that are not the common tangerine. They were developed by a California hybridizer, Joe Solomone.
There is a garden centre offering the yellow clivia that he developed. I might just get one. Have to decide if I am going to be a good enough gardener.
