March 2010 in the Southern Hemisphere

Otto,
it is nice to see rare autumn croci now. They are wunderful. Even the 'simple' C. speciosus is pretty as a picture, nicely contrasted and dark, like it!
That adoring clump of C. banaticus is wunderful, too.

This time a few more of the smaller, charming autumn flowering Nerine species.
Nerine undulata is a very dainty spider flower which can give a wonderful display when mass planterd.
The soft pink flowers are produced abundantly and make excellent cut flowers for the vase.
Nerine humilis has slightly larger flowers than most other smaller species.
The flowers are usually soft pink, but in some forms can be salmon pink and rose.

Bill, every detail of those lovely Nerines is so alive in your photos and pretty as a picture

Today, on one of my walkes around the nursery, I found this charming little plant known as Stenoglottis longifolia from Natal, South Africa  putting up a brave display.
This plant  is a terrestrial orchid, very decorative when in flower, with attractive spikes of small. lilac, dotted flowers.
One of the easiest of orchids to grow and bloom, either in intermediate or cool conditions and partial shade.
