Can anybody out there tell me what pollinates Clivia in their natural habitat? Is it birds, bugs, baboons or the wind? Presumeably, different creatures...
Hi Ian and all, As I recall, members of this group have in the past suggested that the pendant, tubular-flowered Clivia species are pollinated by sunbirds. ...
Hi Jim, Ian and all, Don't you think that if you're having problems pollinating, it's likely to be due to either reduced fertility, incompatibility or ...
Hi Jorgen and all, ... Very good points indeed! The self-incompatibility possibility was raised this morning (Sunday A.M., USA time) in our weekend live...
Hi Jorgen and all, I like Jorgen's idea of a more thorough investigation on ploidy in Clivia hybrids. I would like to know if more polyploids are present in...
Hello Ian, I think having baboons in the clivia patch would be a disaster. They are a bit on the rough side for the delicate clivia bloom. I wouldn't try using...
Jamie, There are about 12 clumps of Clivia x Cyrtanthiflora in a street planting here in Hobart. I drive past them on my way to work. There is at least one...

To Ben: I hope someone takes you up on the offer. It's good to know that you have the capacity to test ploidy. However, as I'm sure you know, many clivias are...
While this is all over my head. I would like for Tom W to jump in here. In one of our converstaions since his visit to Joe Solomone, Tom said that one of Joe's...
