arillady:
Does anyone grow a plant by this name?
 I had a query many years ago from an ASI member - he believed it was in Australia at some time.

I was in South Africa during its bloom time, but never saw one. 

I was hoping to get some pollen to put on Z. aethiopica which grows
well in gardens here.

After I came home, I found that it grows on the one farm I was not able to visit -
the owner takes one busload of people per day to visit his flower fields,
and he was booked up.  However, this year the farm has become a park,
so next time I go, I will be able to visit.

That is good news, when so often we hear of the destruction of these habitats.

Diane Whitehead:
Z. odorata has been used to introduce scent into Zantedeschias
grown as cutflowers for export in New Zealand.

report written in 1998.

arillady:
Diane,
This farm doesn't happen to produce a seed list do they? Are you willing to share the name and contact details for this farm?
Thanks for the interesting link in NZ.
Pat
