Hi Sarah,
I am on the hop at present...due to go look after my little grandson for a few days, but wanted to tell you I think the plant is a Clivia.
Cheers, Gerri

Plant Profile: Clivia

<em>Clivia</em> miniata 'Striata'

Clivia miniata 'Striata'


Traits: , Shade, Feature, Groundcover, Container, , Birds

This genus in the amaryllis (Amaryllidaceae) family is made up of just 4 species of perennials from southern Africa. While these plants are best suited to warmer conditions, and can tolerate only the lightest of frosts, they can be enjoyed as container plants in cooler climates. The stunning flowers come in vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange, and are followed by equally vibrant and showy berries, which extend the ornamental season of these plants. The genus was named for Lady Charlotte Clive, Duchess of Northumberland, who was the granddaughter of Robert Clive of India (general and colonial administrator).

Flowering Season: Summer, Spring

Appearance

These clump-forming plants grow from stocky rhizomes, and have long, bright green, strap-like leaves. Most bloom in spring, but flowering times do vary, depending on the speciesClivia gardenii, for instance, blooms from autumn to spring, bringing welcome color to the winter garden. They produce strong flower stems that are topped with heads of large funnel-shaped flowers in vibrant hues of yellow, orange, and red. Attractive bright red berries follow the flowers.

Cultivation

Fire lilies will tolerate only the lightest of frost, but otherwise they are easily grown. These plants make superb greenhouse container specimens, and can be enjoyed as indoor pot plants in cooler climates. Outdoors they will do best if grown in fertile well-drained soil in a position that provides dappled shade. Water well during the warmer months and allow to dry off for winter. They are usually propagated by division.

HI Sarah, It looks to me like it could be in the Orchid family. My husband says it is a lilly.

Bonjour Gerri!

Eureka, you've found it!

Well done and thank you. The flowers, now that they are open, are just like those in the picture you showed, only more orange in colour.

I also have a smaller plant, the same which hasn't flowered yet. I see that they can go outside. I've always kept them inside.

They are probably safer there. We don't get much shade in our garden and the soil is far from fertile or well-drained!

Perhaps I'll try the little one on my terrace, behind the honeysuckle.

Speaking of the honeysuckle, I had to trim it yesterday. It suddenly grew all over the place, in a matter of days. Spring has truly sprung.

I look forward to seeing the berries on the Clivia, but I will be sad to see the beautiful flowers disappear.

Enjoy looking after your grandson.

Thank you for taking the time to come here before hopping off!

Angel cuddles,

Sarah

Here's Polly again:



Her skin problem doesn't really notice any more, to those who didn't know that she had a prob. We think it was due to stress because we went away for a couple of weeks and her and Loupio's routine was completely different. I think she missed us and the love.
