Common names: bush lily, clivia (English). 
Botanical name: Clivia miniata

The bush lily, Clivia miniata, is an attractive houseplant with shiny green leaves and brilliant orange trumpet flowers that blooms mainly in spring. It grows well in shade and humus-rich, well-drained soil. Clivias should be watered regularly in summer when actively growing. They can be propagated by seed or division. Clivia rhizomes are traditionally used medicinally but are toxic. Through breeding, many variations of Clivia have been developed, with different flower colors, leaf shapes, and growth habits.
