Hi all, just found this place...thanks to Heather over at slippertalk.com.

I grow mainly Slippers, Cymbidiums, Ansellias and Catts, but keep a variety of Orchids, as well as Clivias.

Nice to see some people I recognise from other forums

After looking at the picture of Oscarman's Clivia, I was left wondering if these NOID house plants are Clivias. Can you tell me?

Sorry to Hijack the post.

Beautiful plants...especially the first one, yes they are Clivias, and judging by the leaves they look like Clivia miniata, probably Belgium Broadleaf Clivias.

The first one looks a lot like a Clivia miniata 'Coromandel', usually they have redder flowers than the normal orange ones.
