Hall of Fame

The Clivia Society’s Hall of Fame honours the pioneers, founders, and honorary members whose passion and dedication have shaped the global Clivia community. From early collectors and growers to lifelong contributors, these names represent the roots and growth of our Society.

Honorary membership is awarded to individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the Society and the broader Clivia community. Each name represents years of dedication — advancing research, mentoring growers, promoting the genus, and strengthening the Society’s bonds worldwide.

We also remember and honour those who are no longer with us, yet whose influence and generosity continue to shape the Clivia world. Their pioneering work, leadership, and friendship have left an enduring legacy that will never fade.

The Hall of Fame ensures that the contributions of these dedicated individuals are remembered and celebrated. Their work laid the foundation for today’s thriving community of Clivia enthusiasts, and their passion continues to inspire new generations of growers to cultivate excellence, share knowledge, and preserve the beauty of the Clivia genus.
