August 2024 in the Southern Hemisphere

[fermi de Sousa]

We started August with a Plant Sale at The Ferny Creek Hort Society.
In the garden Crocus and Galanthus were in full flower.
Inside there was a lovely pot of mixed Iris retculata hybrids,

This Pauridia (syn Spiloxene) came from Garry Reid of Obscure Bulbs - possibly a form of P. capensis.
You don't notice it unless the sun is shining!

The last pic shows the damage caused by Red Legged Earth Mites  :'(

Hi fermi

Thank you for the beautiful display.  It is interesting to see winter blooms when I am in mid Summer.
