During the spring of 2016, Colorado Clivia Company pollinated several Clivia miniata to obtain seeds. By December 2016, the resulting fruits had developed and were ripe. Seeds inside these berries will be germinated, and in about 4 years their "in blooom" pictures will be appearing here.
Fruit/berry colors are determined by the mother plant. The father's pollen has no impact on the color of the fruit. Each berry photo is labeled with the mother's information. The color of the berries can also give us some insight into the genetic background of the plant. Yellow berries usually mean yellow flowers. Red/orange berries usually mean orange flowers. Purple berries usually mean bronze flowers. Sometimes the flower color is completely different than the berry color. A couple of these photos demonstrate that difference. It will be very exciting to see the flower colors in several years.
