What does CLIVIA mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A southern African plant of the amaryllis family, grown for its clusters of orange or red trumpet-shaped flowers.
The clivia is a popular houseplant because it tolerates shade and blooms in late winter when little else does. Its flat, dark green strap-like leaves grow in a fan, and the flower heads rise above them on a sturdy stalk. The name honors a Duchess of Northumberland of the Clive family, who is said to have been the first to flower one in England.
