Ah, okay, that is good to know..I sort of expected it but just got rattled seeing it slump way too much, just after I watered it earlier. Wish I can turn it, the leaf span is too wide, and that container is much heavier than my amaryllis containers. Hopefully the smaller leaf to the leaf can catch up and help balance it too.

When I got this plant in Nov, it has 9 leaves. New leaves has emerged since then, now I have a 12th leaf emerging. Bloomstalk at about 14 inches tall, umbel starting to break out of the outer sheath, pedicels of each bud more visible now.

Tarev, I have been watching the progress of your Clivia and I can hardly wait for the next photos. smiles

Hi Bonnie! I am so excited too..steady as it goes!

Some photo updates: buds racing to go up and about..I wonder if it has an internal contest which one will first open up Counting the buds, I have counted 14 buds...anticipation builder!

Wow! Wonderful promise of blooms.

The bloom show is starting! just a teaser...

Thanks for the nice cheers Neal!!!
Waking up today..as always rushing to this blooming friend:
With more light..colors getting more yellow...depending on the camera flash I guess Just love it!

Yours is looking like a deeper yellow than mine. The one I have is butter/banana flesh yellow, with a deeper yellow throat. Yours is very pretty!

Thanks Neal! It sure is like a bright ray of sunshine indoors

Took a photo from the other side of the glass:

Photo update..can see the inner part a little better now.
Trying it with and without flash..just to capture the deeper yellow strips in each petal:

Beautiful, Tarev!

Thanks Bonnie It is truly a wonderful plant..am so eager to see all the buds fully in bloom soon!

So am I. LOL

Beautiful, Tarev! Much prettier than my yellow one!

Thanks Carol! Both are beauties!

More buds have opened..so some more Clivia selfies
