clivia

**C* T* E* <c*@gardenvista.com>**

Here in Virginia I've had an orange clivia for several years.  I keep it 
outdoors in the warm months, and bring it inside during the winter.  
Alas, it hasn't ever flowered, so I'm thinking of giving up.  Any 
suggestions?  The friend who gave it to me gets flowers, but she has a 
sun room where her tender plants live in the winter.   I don't have 
that.  Maybe mine isn't getting enough light?...
