so I just had to bring it home!! Do you think my husband will believe me?
How could you resist its charms?
It said I love you as I walked by
NO. but I do. :~D
Carol
It was so big too, almost 3 feet.
Now I have to find a place to plant it where it gets some sun and will be happy.
After I saw David's (catsmeow) clivea website he posted for us, I also thought it was so cheap. LOL

I just wish I had an orange one blooming so I could cross them.
LOL Carol!! I am trying it out here first to see if it flies.
Kell, What is the name of the variety you bought? I believe that orange is dominant in Clivias so you'd end up will all orange flowered plants with about 50% of them carrying the recessive gene for yellow.

Oh BettyDee I want a bi-colored one like Ramona on this page. http://www.stokestropicals.com/default.php?cPath=168&osCsid=961a1c350e1053aad0fd416b5c00824f
LOL. I just love that one. It is calling my name.
Mine is labeled this:

Kell, not too much sun. This plant actually prefers shade. They come from South Africa and have big, spongey roots so not too much water either.
They are evergreen and they look fabulous in or out of bloom all year round.
Here's another pic of some of my orange ones.

Hard not to love yours Ron. Look at that color against that rich green. Looking too good.
Ok, I will rethink my move.
They are beautiful.
Wow, Kell. That Ramona is a hefty price.
Gee, do you think $450 is bit much? LOL. Can you imagine if it died after you bought it? Of course I would already be dead as soon as Tom got my charge card bill.
I always hide my charge card bill or DH would have a heart attack. LOL
I write the checks to pay all the bills, so.........nobody sees my Visa charges.
DH puts the money in the checking acount. WTG??
See, my DH is in full control of the money. He pays me an allowance. That is why I love to charge things, and never write checks. Checks I pay for out of my allowance, charge cards he pays for! LOL
Gloria, if I send you my bills, will you pay them too??? Please.......................
Kell, I like that setup, you charge and DH pays. I can't get mine to see things that way. LOL
Well remember, I am the one that was willing to get Alohahoya - Carol to send him a few hula girls.
Good thinking Kell ... that is really good thinking!!
