mystery plants

---

Hi CHristine,’

The last three are various stages of haemanthus albiflos, the Paintbrush, a shadier loving, winter flowering bulb from South Africa.  It is long lived, care free and you can plant those fruits or offset bulblets! I have lots!

Hi all,

I hope you can help me identify two mystery plants. The first set is at the Luther Burbank Home and Gardens in Santa Rosa. Nobody can remember who planted it nor what it is.

The second set is a plant I was given without identification. It survived the severe frost we had in December of 2013.

Thanks in advance for your help.
