   Close – Clivia, same family as Agapanthus but different sub-family/species.

   As far as i know (to date – future events to be determined) there are only shades of blue and/or white agapanthus. Some quite dark blue admittedly, no orange (yet).

   That was easy! 🙂 🙂 🙂

      Thanks, Bob. This is the orange agapanthus I found on the internet, but know sometimes info isn’t correct. What do you think? https://www.google.com/search?q=orange+agapanthus&oq=orange+agapanthus&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j0l5.4104j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

         Aha. On closer inspection I see that it, too, calls it clivia. I’ve changed the name on my blog and given you identification credit! Many thanks.

         I saw that page in my hunt for your flower!

         It’s (google images) getting complicated because searches for images will include images on webpages that may have the search words anywhere on the same page, not just relative to the flower’s name! 😦

         Yours is definitely an orange clivia. a relative of but not the same as true agapanthus. See clivia and agapanthus under wikipedia for full details of both. 🙂

            So that’s why I see all sorts of flowers classified in places where they don’t belong. They go by words, not images.

               So i have found! Somewhat inconvenient, but what can we do?? I’ve just been checking one of my plant names and it seems even nursery’s can mis-name some of their plants for sale. 😦

                  That’s a surprise. I’ve never thought of that happening!! What plant did they misname and what did they name it?

                  It was named a crassula ovata jade plant but was clearly a different plant all together, not exactly sure what?
