Dear DJL
Thank you for your information about the Kniphora.Now I had know why my all kniphora were always died at the summer time.I can not these family are native so high elevation area.
Because I had received the seeds Kniphora species about 15 sp from RHS each year.It always growing very nice at our cool season.I was always belive the bulbs plants from India ocean east coast of SA must be easy to growing here(summer rain monsoon).I was really can not belive them were come from so high elevation area befor you post this informayion.So ,I will give up this plants in the furture.

Dear charlot,
    I think that the second choice may be the Veltheimia bracteata that has similar shape.
From the book I had, it enjoys the full sun the warm weather. Even though
its color isn't so fancy as Kniphofia which has gradient color.

Hi folks!

Are we going to turn this forum into an English channel or something?  Please, PLEASE stick to Chinese whenever technically possible   }:0)

Most Kniphofia are highland species native to the Afro-montane climate in and around the vicinity of Lesotho.  Strictly speaking, Kniphofia is a cool-climate plant which could possibly survive the highlands of Taiwan.

Rogerian has got the point here as Veltheimia tends to adapt to much milder climates (hardy to USDA zones 8 - 10).  That said, a major problem cultivating bulbs of the Liliaceae and Alliaceae families seem to stem from bacterial activities if your summer climate is hot and wet.  Against the said summer condition, bulbs tend to disintegrate and that's why you never attain flowering size bulbs of Hyacinths in warm climates.  Does anybody have success with Veltheimia in Taiwan?

Charlot,

Veltheimia is a summer growing bulb.  It should not be too difficult to cultivate Veltheimia in Taiwan provided that bulbs enjoy a good winter dormancy and a good supply of watering and sunlight in summer.

There are various colour forms of Veltheimia.  A friend of mine in California collects these rare forms.  As far as I know it, he has got various yellow forms, rose and mauve colour forms.   The latest correspondence suggests that he has got a variegated form.  He is a Veltheimia maniac!
