What’s in a name me ‘aul flower?

Clivia miniata may have foliage like Agapanthus but it is frost tender and must be kept protected during winter.

It likes its roots cramped in a pot whilst appreciating extra nourishment in active growth.

It is easy to understand why many gardeners fall for the poetry and charm of common plant names. Who can resist the romance of flowers with names like love-lies-bleeding, love-in-a-mist, or forget-me-not?
