November and are reddish orange with cream anthers.

A.flavidus grows to 1.0m tall by 1.0m wide. Flowers from October to
February. Leaves are glabrous. The flower stems are 2.0m, branched and
smooth tubular, 3-4cm densely hairy. The lobes are not turned back, colours
are yellow-green, red, pink, yellow and green. Common in a wide range of
soils and climate but frost damage can occur. Moist light to medium soils
and partial to full sun seems best. Propagation is by seed or division.

November. Leaves are deciduous; sparse, nearly terete, finely pointed.
Flower stems are 1.0m long, tubular, 5-6cm woolly hairs. Two terminal
clusters , lobed but not reflexed. Claw-like in appearance, orange to
yellow and red colour.Cultivation is difficult, prefers moist and
well-drained soil in partial to full sun. Divide regularly to promote
vigorous growth. Does well in containers. Propagation is by seed or
division.

Flowers from September to November. Leaves are glossy green, 0.3m in
length. Flower stems are reddish-orange and the anthers are cream. A
feature is the cultivar's resistance to snails and ink disease. Propagation
is by vegetative means only.

Anigozanthos 'Early Spring'
This cultivar has flowering stems to about 1.1m tall, mostly
glabrous with a covering of dark purple tomentose hairs. The flowers are on
terminal branchlets which are divaricately branched. The flowers have
pedicels to about 4mm long. The wool on the flowers is dark red, plumose
over the whole surface with occasional yellow green hair giving them a
slightly dusty appearance. The perianth tube is around 45mm long, glabrous
inside and minutely scabrous dotted below the middle. The perianth loves
are about 10mm long with dense woolly yellow green and sometimes orange
plumose hairs inside. The anthers ar shorter than the filaments, the
connective tipped with a reduced gland like appendage. The ovules are about
6 per locule.
Diagnosis:
The flowers of Anigozanthos 'Early Spring' have the colouring of
A. rufus. They are similar in length to A. flavidus but broader than A.
flavidus or A. viridis and not as broad as A. rufus. The bracts are
narrower and less hairy than A. rufus but broader than those in A. flavidus
. The stems are more hairy than A. rufus. The leaves are much broader and
not as long as A. viridis. The ovary is less prominent than in A. flavidus
. Anigozanthos 'Early Spring' does not grow as tall as A. rufus.
Anigozanthos 'Hickman's Delight'
Stems to + 1.5m with a covering of pale orange plumose hairs
becoming more dense and dark red in colour at the final division of the
raceme, some pale hairs persisting. Flowers on pedicels to ca. 8mm long,
the wool dard red with scattered pale hairs lending a dusty appearance.
Perianth tube to + 4cm long, minutely scabrous inside, the hairs becoming
more linear finally with stellate tips; lobes + 1cm long, with grey-green
sometimes pale orange woolly plumose hairs inside. Anthers shorter than
dark purple filaments, the connective with a gland like appendage. Ovules
more than 10 per locule.
Diagnosis:
Anigozanthos 'Hickman's Delight' differs from A. manglesii in
having a shorter perianth tube which is rounded at the end, flat in A.
manglesii. The anthers are greenish yellow, (green in A. manglesii) and the
anthers are arranged in a part circle (flat in A. manglesii). The perianth
lobes are not as reflexed as in A. manglesii and the colour of the perianth
is the same through to the base, (two tone in ordinary A. manglesii). The
leaves are evergreen. It differs from A. rufus in having larger flowers,
i.e. larger and broader corolla tube. Has fewer flowers and less branching.
The colour of the flower is closer to A. rufus than any of the other
species. The leaves are deeper green, with A. rufus leaves having a greyish
tinge. A. 'Hickman's Delight' is different from A. flavidus in havung
shorter flower stems, fewer flowers and less branching. The perianth tube
is much broader and a fraction longer than A. flavidus. The perianth lobes
are much broader and slightly more reflexed than A. flavidus. Anthers are
larger, greenish yellow, orange in A. flavidus, the filaments are much
longer with the outer two being curved, set at an angle of 45 degrees in
A. flavidus. The leaves are similar to A. flavidus but not as upright. The
flowers are significantly larger than in other red flowered cultivars.
