Summer beauty – MS120511 -32 .<\/a>:
\nFootball<\/b> lily<\/b>. Haemanthus multiflorus<\/i>, Amaryllidaceae<\/i>.<\/div>\n
With its numerous scarlet flowers grouped in a large round umbel on top of 30 cm long stalk<\/span>, Haemanthus multiflorus<\/i> is a novelty.
\nThe plant comes from tropical Africa<\/span> and flowers in summer, when it is normally leafless. The arrival of the flowers every year will be a welcome surprise as they appear when the plants have completely “disappeared”.<\/span> They were in full bloom<\/span> in Mysore<\/span> last week. \u00a0However the photographs attached were taken in Chennai a few years <\/span>back.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Yes .., often planted in pots in Delhi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scadoxus multiflorus<\/a>:
\nFootball Lily<\/b> (as called by Nurserymen)
\nScadoxus multiflorus<\/i> ??<\/div>\n
\n

Yes it is!!! I am very sure this plant is Scadoxus multiflorus<\/i> also known as Haemanthus multiflorus<\/i>, I have this plant with me in my garden and also I did cytological studies (mitosis) from the root tips of this plant in my
\ncollege. It is commonly called Blood lily<\/b> out there people call it as Red Ball Lily<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\n

Let me know at what time we should collect its root tips to get maximum dividing cells\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\n
In Haemanthus multiflorus<\/i> pluck the root tip around 11:00 -11:30 A.M, but make one thing for sure that the soil in which it is growing should be wet (optimum drenched) otherwise you will never get good divisions. Water the plant well for at least 3-4 days before to take the root tips. If you want you can give me a call now.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Some more Pics from Arya PG College Campus<\/span><\/div>\n

Another Scadoxus multiflorus<\/i> photograph. To the left of the flowerhead, a leaf can be seen. This photograph was taken in Adyar Theosophical Society Gardens on 21 June, 2011. <\/span>It is a cultivated garden plant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did a football lily develop after all in this rosette of leaves?\/
\noriginals were from Septemebr… so this plant has enough time to develop the stalk and its lily???<\/div>\n

Scadoxus multiflorus<\/i> (Martyn) Raf.<\/p>\n

Thanks … The football lilly<\/b> is possibly an escapee from some garden<\/span>. Understands that it is used in some ethnic medicines; but beware it is highly poisonous (also known as ‘Poison lilly’<\/b>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Searched a lot but couldn’t find any solution. All ornamental Araceae seem to have pinnately veined leaves while this one has parallel\/longitudinal nerves.<\/p>\n
