Pollination of clivias - A master in Action - Beijing, Peoples Republic of China

Below are photos of a master in action, Quiyi senior, a man who has bred super broad leaf clivia in his days, but nowadays concentrate his efforts to improve the more sought after and higher priced raised vein clivia. The Quiyi family has won numerous awards with their raised vein or crinkle face clivia and their clivia is very sought after. You will always find visitors and buyers at their shade houses on the outskirts of Beijing. The photos below were taken by Quiyi Huang. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do, when I saw it the first time.

Fukurin and Mandarin Duck LOB

Below are a couple of my favourite clivia - Fukurin and Mandarin Duck LOB Darumas with an ordinary Fukurin. Most of the plants in the pictures originate from Anshan and I imported them many years ago as 2 to 3 year old seedlings.

Mid September 2010 - Chinese plants in flower

Below are photos of a few of my Chinese plants in flower. I apologise for the poor quality of the photos. The reason being that these plants grow in a shadehouse with a green glass fibre roof which make it extremely difficult to photograph these plants. Normal white light only enters from the sides.The colours in the photos are thus not 100% accurate.
