Completely  different  companies, Diane.  rareplants.co.uk is  run by  Paul Christian from Wales while  rareplants.eu  seems  to have  several incarnations  online, in Germany, Spain etc.
No idea  why  you cannot  access  the  UK version from Canada - unless  perhaps  because  he  can't  send to Canada. He  is  advertising  being  able to  send to  USA now.   :-\

Well, a kind member from the U.S. was able to copy a photo from Paul Christian's website and send it to me.  It obviously isn't forbidden to all North Americans.

All this info gathering for nothing.  I wondered why I didn't have a pot of seedlings, given how quickly Nerine germinates, and I had received ten seeds.  I just dumped the pot out and searched carefully.  No seeds.  Completely disappeared.

This has gone around our group as "Spiloxene sp orange" I think it could be Pauridia gracilipes ssp. speciosa

Ixias are starting - in our garden the first are usually the yellow and orange ones - a mix of hybrids and including Ixia maculata in their parentage
