Haemanthus albiflos is the white one. I've read about the red one but never seen it in flower. Have you had any luck with it setting seed?

I do not know what it is, but it is very beautiful.

Hello Patrick. I have not had any success with seed on H albiflos. However H. coccineus is known to set seed in NZ and one of mine is from a friends seedling plants.
