Clivia

We planted quite a few Clivias in our garden in February and have been delighted that they have all flowered.

Wikipedia tells me that they were named in honour of Queen Victoria’s governess Charlotte ( née Clive ) Duchess of Northumberland, who was the granddaughter of Clive of India.
Not sure what I can do with this information, but I do enjoy the odd trivia quiz so maybe one day this may feature as a question.
