Scadoxus multiflorus (day eight) (Scadoxus multiflorus)

Last Friday, something finally emerged from my Scadoxus bulbs. As it turned out it wasn't leaves but a flower stem. Here it is eight days later!

In eight days!!

Wow that did perform!

Last Thursday nothing - Friday morning the bud was emerging! Eight days later, although this is not the final form, it's pretty much there! It certainly does perform once it starts!

something so wonderful in eight days ~ what could it achieve in 80?

30 Jul, 2011

30 Jul, 2011

30 Jul, 2011

 

Ah memories.......lol

Thanks all!
I think that it's entire cycle would last about 80days, then sleep the rest of the year!

Nice one....:)))

Thanks Crissue!
I should be so lucky as to sleep that much Sticki!!

31 Jul, 2011

31 Jul, 2011

 

God, I would! I suffer from tinnitus induced insomnia.

31 Jul, 2011

 

that awful and im very sorry to hear that.

31 Jul, 2011

 

No such thing as silence Sticki - I have to have the radio or tv at night.
When it's bad it's horrendous........

31 Jul, 2011

 

yes i have heard about it ~ i think it must be one of the worst things. are they doing any research into curing it?

31 Jul, 2011

 

Endless research.

31 Jul, 2011

 

well i hope they find something helpful soon.

31 Jul, 2011

 

Me too!
I was so knackered last night that I fell asleep before the end of Frost - dosy bint next to me did too, so we have no idea who did it!!! Then I woke up at 3am, and that was it for me!

31 Jul, 2011

 

Mine sadly did not overwinter but its so beautiful Meanie

31 Jul, 2011

 

Scotkat - did you move it indoors?

31 Jul, 2011

 

Oh no! Can you watch on iplayer?

Do you have to go to work on those few hours sleep?

31 Jul, 2011

 

It's not that bad all the time - sometimes I can get six or even seven hours!

1 Aug, 2011

 

thank goodness for that.
i have been to work on less!!

1 Aug, 2011

 

I have my best hot flushes at night Meanie lol! and this weather doesnt help, so here I am at 2am catching up on your pictures. This is another unusual one..do you get all your ideas from the Oxford Bot Gardens? We are going there in a week or so's time.

2 Aug, 2011

 

Just some of them Tet!
2.22am and I'm up again........

2 Aug, 2011

 

2.22?? oh no.
i heard of someone who had insomnia and they used to make cakes.

2 Aug, 2011

 

I drink tea and catch up with radio4 or the World Service station on the Beeb.

2 Aug, 2011

 

world service is very popular ~ they are not cutting that are they?

2 Aug, 2011

 

There was talk of it, but I believe that it's now limited to some of its content.

2 Aug, 2011

 

That's as fast as my Amaryllis open - in fact probably faster! It's a lovely flower - that would make people sit up & take notice!!!

7 Aug, 2011

 

I must admit that I was surprised by the speed of it all.
