Very interesting and unusual plants! I don't think I have ever seen anything like them before. That little bud growing on the side of the haemanthus humilis looks like something precious and hidden.

Congrats on the bud!

I've only seen one Boophane, or now Boophone, disticha and it really caught my eye in a conservatory chock full of exotics. Apparently 'sore eye' comes from the possibility that in a confined space aromatics given off by the flowers can cause eye pain and headache. This plant is extremely toxic. A bulb info. resource I utilize is The Pacific Bulb Society.org. It's fun and informative, with good photos too.

I really like that you add an anotation with the names of each plant. It is really helpful when I feel very interested in something in particular. Great video, as always. Thanks for sharing!
