• Clivia miniata citrina "Solomone Yellow"
  The very well-known light-yellow flowered strain from Joe Solomone. These are plants grown from his own seed by Joe in his 3-acre greenhouse in Watsonville, California. All are blooming size, having already started to show scapes or even to begin blooming when received in Spring 2005. We think that these are all Group 1 Yellows, but that is not a proven fact.

• Clivia miniata "Solomone Red"
  These rich red-orange flowers tend toward the tulip shape seen in so many reds. The leaves are broadleaf, 2¼ inches wide to 2¾ inches wide. These are larger plants, very much like the yellows and the pastels. All are blooming size, having already begun blooming when received in Spring 2007.

• Clivia miniata citrina "Solomone Cream"
  There are cream colored flowers with yellow to yellow-orange to mustard throats. The plants are moderately large, with leaves that are 24 to 30 inches long and medium-broadleaf (2"-3" wide). They were in bloom when we selected them a month ago, but none is still in bloom. Solomone plants are all seed-grown plants that were selected by color when in bloom. The youngest of them bloomed in 2004 for the first time, making them at least 4 years old today. Most in the 2-gal. size are probably 5 to 7 years old and have bloomed up to three years. This applies to all the Solomone plants we sell at the 2-gal. size. We were tempted to call these "near-white;" but they are just not "white" at all. "Cream" seems the best label, better than "ivory" in my opinion.
