Star Green

Description

Registered Cultivar: This plant is a very unusual coloured Clivia with mainly green on the inside and brick-bronze on the outer petals. As the flower matures, the green turns to a pinky green. It is a medium sized plant with narrow leaves and carries between 10-12 flowers. It is from interspecific breeding and flowers at miniata flowering time. It does not self pollinate easily and the pollen has to be used very early before it dries. This clone won Gold Medal at the 2009 EP Clivia Show in the unusual colour class. Details of the plant can be found in the article "A Star is Born", page 18, Vol, 24, No. 1 of Clivia News - Jan-June 2015
