Scadoxus puniceus
This species always produces a good crop of flowers followed by fruit. Grows well around the base of my larger houseplants such as palms. Fruit sometimes has 2 seeds inside. If fruit is left on the plant for several months it sometimes begins to germinate. When planted in potting mix it may take several months to show a leaf but most seed grows very well with flowers in about 3-4 years.
