Title: Nerine bowdenii
Post by: Diane Whitehead on November 23, 2022, 02:55:17 PM
I recently bought a pot of this white one.  It appears to have two bulbs, each of which has put up two tall flower stems - one metre high!  (about 40 inches)    Much taller than the usual pink ones that are common here.

And I've never seen a pink one with wavy edges.

Diane - nice. White ones can be striking.

Not sure if my photo on the wiki:

passes the crinkle cut test.

There only one or two flowers left here now - I can't go out and find the crinkliest.

Yours is rather crinkly, and it has ten flowers.  Six is more usual here.

No, I just went out and counted and my pink bowdenii all have ten flowers.  It looks like the white one will have eight.
