Luc, lovely plants I must say, and please tell me how you keep your plunge sand so pristine? Mine is covered in moss and algae...

Cheers,

Alex

This sandbed with plants like onco, juno, allium, tulips is situated in full light (and sun now and then  ;D) and under glassroof cover. Although the sand is kept moist during the growing season this environment is not favourable for algae. The only problem can be unexpected seedlings.

I remember seeing this stunning species many years ago when I was a young irisarian, in a talk given at an NZiS Convention by the late Australian grower, Dr Gordon Lovell. This must have been my intro to oncos or close to it.

It is a real jewel. It hasn't set seeds, but I kept the pollen to apply it next year and maybe the pollen from  other clones in other gardens. It is a must to stabilize this species in many botanical gardens.....  It is a shame this beautiful country with this beautiful nature, history and culture, but above all, all this innocent people that are suffering a human catastrophe.

Rafa this is one that produced quite a few plants from the seed that were embryo cultured. They are looking really good too - some have recently been planted out.

I sure hope so Rafa. Noticed a bit of an imprint of a kangaroo hind in with some of the newly planted irises.
