| Pretty sure. If you look closely at the first pic, you an see some mottling on the leaves. This plant has grown prolificly in a container on my patio but it has lost the mottling and stopped sending up those shoots. If I find out its name, I can see what it likes. I suspect it's getting too much sun.
Thanks for any help. If you can id the first pic at least, I am certain that is my plant. |

| It's Veltheimia. I only know Veltheimia capensis, which blooms every year in January/February |

| Suse, I found V capensis and V bracteata, but it seems only V bracteata has a white or pink bloom...it can also have some really varied foliage.

| Mary where did you get this? Very cool looking.
I was thinking the same thing Lynn but could not remember anymore of the name than drim something. One of these days my brain may just decide to kick in. |
