Maybe you will get a variegated offset Siggy. That probably explains why they are so expensive. That's why I got 15 seeds instead of 5, they were quite cheap and only one lot of postage.

I wonder how long I have to wait to find out if they 'look' like they might be variegated. I'm already quite hopeful as the small leaves look different to the 2 Clivia nobilis I have growing, I go tthose a little earlier from Chilterns. I also got one C. caulescens at over £2 for 1 seed, which seemed risky and it was, the seed had a sort of watery look about it and eventually rotted without germinating, although it looked like it was about to burst forth with a root. They are now selling 2 for over £4. It's the only seed I got that didn't germinate!

The back one rooted shortly after the first but has been slow to make leaves, they are making now but still slow, the first one raced away with little green leaves straight away. It at least has a nice strong looking stem.
