Photo of Clivias anyone?

Another little known fact about Clivia is their drought tolerance. If they are in dense shade, in the ground they can go for months without a drink. They have a fleshy root system for storage. They grew best in clay soil in CA. The coldest it ever got, when I lived in CA, was 28* and they were unharmed.

I sent an email to Chrythanthiflora, twice, and it came back as undeliverable. Since they haven't updated their webpages since 2002 I am not surprised. Too bad, I was hoping to spend some money with them someday.

Guess I will spend it on Coleus.
