Thanks Magnar
Susan; how many years did the Dierama need to reach flowering stage? D. pulcherrimum isn't hardy here, but I'm hoping that species might be.

While looking for something else, I've just found this thread, totally lost when my computer stopped notifying me of anything new, a month ago. Last 4 hours catching up. There are so many things I want to say or ask about but silly to go back there now. Just heartfelt thanks to all posters of text and pictures. June in the northern hemishere is a marvellous time obviously.

Regarding Dierama---my friend Ellen who owns Seneca Hill Perennials in Oswego, New York, close to where I live (probably average winter lows of -25C) sells and grows a number of South African plants---
She lists many species of Dierama, but the following are noted as growing OUTDOORS IN THE GARDEN. All were originally grown from Silverhills seed.
D. igneum
D. pauciflorum
D. trichorhizum

Sorry Seneca hills website is closed

I've only ever got a couple of things from Ellen (mainly cyclamen), but got very good germination rates too (including purpurascens which is notoriously sporadic for germinating). Good and fresh, well cared for seed. Much as I'd imagine Kristl provides (I'm still resisting going to your website Kristl..... there'll be far too many things I want.

Ariaeama, it only took 2 years to flowering I think, it was really quick and easy. It grows outside in the field along with my bulbs and sets loads of seed each year. I doubt I will have to be remembering to put a lot of things in the seed ex. this Autumn.

I echo Paul's comments. Such a succession of wonderful plants, brilliantly photographed. Making a list of seeds I would like.

Lewisia rediviva Jolon's strain in bloom today from nowhere as usual. A plant that thrives on neglect. Seed from Ashwood.

One from the garden today Tritelia laxa (or Brodiae-call it what you will?) 'Queen Fabiola. This is it's second flowering year and the corms are not lifted.

Thanks, interesting, I was not aware of this plant. I see it comes from California and Oregon. Wonder how hardy it might be

Magnar, my corms were Dutch raised stock bought from a local garden centre sale table and cost me £1.

Magnar, it's worth a try! I think you will not loose them in winter
when you plant them between some perennials. Their leaves
wil cover the bulbs in winter.
And they are really cheap too.
Maybe you did see the last week's Lisse Flowershow, there I showed
pictures of newer hybrids.
