Haemanthus coccineus


The genus Haemanthus. Also called 'paintbrushes' from the form of the flowers, which sometimes look much more brush-like than they do here. This species has exactly the same habit as the Brunsvigias that we've just looked at: dormant in summer, flowers from a bare bulb in fall, leaves during the winter.
