[edit] How to propogate the Clivia

Hi, I see the article contains plenty of useful information for those wanting to propogate the Clivia. Is this the accepted structure for an article on flora in Wikipedia? Gregorydavid 15:38, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use of "Kaffir"

From the article: at present use of the term "Kaffir", to denote people of Bantu origin, is politically incorrect

I find it odd that the use of "Kaffir" for people is being discussed in an article about the flower. Perhaps it is just that I don't understand the political situation associated with this statement (I got here because of the Featured Picture) but it seems to me like saying you can't call an Oriental rug "oriental" because that term can be used in a derogatory manner in another situation. Perhaps someone more familiar with the topic could make this introductory sentence a little clearer for us non experts, right now it doesn't seem to fit with the topic at hand at all.
