The Clivia is one the most beautiful plants in the world and many people fall in love with this plant. The aim of this book is to provide the reader with the basic genetic knowledge of breeding Clivia plants. The result will be fewer mother plants in your collection but hopefully plants of a better quality. The book can be used for improving any ornamental plant but focusses on Clivias. The author, Johan Spies, was involved in conventional breeding for about four years, devoted 10 years to chromosomal research on plants, resulting in a PhD, and 26 years as lecturer and researcher at the University of the Orange Free State.
