Title: April 2023 in the Southern Hemisphere
Post by: fermi de Sousa on April 07, 2023, 01:24:23 PM

Finally the autumn rains have started here! IT had not been a severely hot summer but it has been dry after torrential spring rain.
A few more autumnal offerings:
1) Acis rosea - raised from seed from Roland
2) Colchicum raised from seed as C. diamplolis but that flowers in spring!
3) Narcissus serotinus from Otto - but probably N. obsoletus
4) The "ox-blood" form of Rhodophiala bifida
5) A pink form of Rhodophiala bifida from seed from Santiago
cheers
