Resting at ease now.  Of course there was never a thought of tossing them.

Winter is back.

My own Lachenalia quadricolor from Silverhill seed.

Degree of leaf and stem spotting seems very variable.

Lachenali flava. I know this is an easy one but I am quite pleased with this display.

The Eucomis have a beautiful Fermi color. Arnold, I did not know Veltheimia?
Can you explain this plant?

Has anyone else had problems with N de Jager, trading as Seeds by Post or Bulbophile? He claims to publish a quarterly magazine, and I paid a subscription last summer but have never received a copy. He does not respond to my emails. Is this a con or am I just unlucky?

I get his quarterly magazine. It comes by normal post and takes an eternity to get here so I am usually a "season" behind the current issue. I have also bought fresh Gethyllis seed from him however it germinates whilst in transit and is mush by arrival. A real shame as they are not cheap and he has offered some species seemingly unavailable elsewhere.

Maybe just me then. Incompetence on his part.
