A few months ago I was contacted by a Clivia friend, Bridget Randall, who told me there was a huge Clivia nobilis growing in a garden in the area known as �The Island� in Sedgefield. We all went down to the property and had a look at the plant in question.
What we saw was clearly an old plant with many off-sets. In diameter, it measured about 1.5m but the astounding thing was the height of the plant. The plant measured close to 1.5m from ground level to leaf tip. The leaves are typically nobilis with notched ends.
