Pink Kaffir Lilly

It may be late November, but this Pink Kaffir Lily is still blooming.

Along with White Japanese Anemones, this is one of my favorite late perennials.

There's also a white Kaffir Lily that (I think) suits Japanese style gardens - and it's still blooming now too.

Mind you, we are on the west coast - in Victoria British Columbia, where it's MUCH milder than anywhere east of the Rocky Mountains) unless you count Florida and such.

Mine are still in bloom too, just about.

A few years ago I saved the seeds and when they flowered I had two colours, I preferred the pal pink ones to the red ones.

Kaffir lily as in "clivia" - ? The picture looks NOTHING like mine (if they are the same thing). I'd LOVE to have one like your in the picture!

Wheasie -- No, it's not a Clivia. It's Schizostylis . With a name like that I'm surprised it isn't called Split Mind Plant.

I took the picture in November, but even though it's now late February, some of ours are still flowering, but the flowers are now rather small.
