Title: FERRARIA
Post by: jes on October 28, 2010, 06:57:18 PM

Hi all

Last year I got a great help here in the forum to start something completely new to me - nomocharis where everything has been well started and seems to succeed - so thanks to everyone for a fantastic help.

But now I have a new idea, I will try out FERRARIA.
Can some of you help me with some of these magnificent plants?

Hi Lesley

Thanks for your prompt response.
You write Look in the "October 2010 in the Southern Hemisphere" thread as a start.
I've been looking for the thread but I can not find it, you can surely help me with some details?  ;)

I think you will get some ideas from these posts about the growing conditions, maybe some clues as to sources, and how the plants like to live in the wild and as naturalised bulbs outside their homeland...  8)
