After my posts earlier this year about my non-flowering Cyrtanthus elatus imagine my joy at finding a bulb dealer who was selling them at a plant fair a couple of months ago. As can be seen from the pic below what came out was a bit of a surprise but nice all the same. I presume it is a species of Cyrtanthus - bulb and leaves look identical to my C. elatus - but has anybody any idea which one? Cyrtanthus mackenii orange form? Can't say the flowers are particularly fragrant though.
Looking at the Pacific Bulb Society pages, many of their photographs seem to have orange flowers but the corresponding description refers to bright red flowers and mine are most definitely orange.
