I am a latecomer to your site just starting to really enjoy your blogs and gradually going through your archives. When we were living in Canada, I had this as a houseplant and enjoyed the blooms for weeks, not really knowing its name. I had to give it to friends since we were not allowed to bring plants across the border and I miss it. Hope I will be able to find another one soon. :-) Wow.

It was very potbound (is it one of those plants that prefer that?) I went ahead and divided it and all the divisions are happy, except for some yellow leaves. The clivia has endured some neglect and many of the older leaves are yellowed, with green veins. I'm assuming some fertilizer is in order, but would like to know if those leaves don't "green up" should I cut them off at the base? My clivia bloomed about a month ago.

I have seen whole stand of Hippeastrum, or Amaryllis, in Southern gardens, too, and Clivia in California, and been wowed, being a Northern girl. That kind of September sounds beautiful as you describe it. Thanks for visiting, and do come again soon. Welcome, Marie.
