Oh yes, I remember the Oreopolus. Even had some seed once from a Watson expedition It never germinated though. We'd love to see your pictures Kris, as many as possible of as many species as possible. Call it your Christmas present to the Forum. :D :-*

Kris - Many thanks for the report, Estancia Stag River sounds as magical as I thought.

If you PM me your mailing address I will photocopy an immense tome of correspondence on the Danish results.

johnw  - an impending storm, the one that blanketed the eastern USA. We can use some more snow cover.
John - I try to find some pictures of the Estancia because you are right.It got something magical ....!!!

Lesley - At home I try to grow one plant .I buy it on a conference in Germany .But it is tricky and I must confess that I check  this one every day . Every time it is a life I thank  God ........These plants are not good for my nerves anyway.
I am happy that  you like my pictures ,it is an honour to share it with you all.
Only by sharing things you have hobby .When keeping things of your own, then you have no hobby!
So I browse again and hope to find some X-mas presents for our forum.

We'll look forward to them Kris, perhaps with a piece of Christmas cake and a glass of something amber coloured. ;)

a couple of pictures of Oxalis adenophylla in the Talca valley in central Chile.

In the first one are hundreds of plants growing amongst equally large numbers of rosulate violas on a dry hillside. The second is a closeup of one of the plants

This is the kind of habitat for adenophylla   that we also have seen during our trip.
In contrast with enneaphylla and lacianata we find it in warmer places.
We travel in an area were enneaphylla and adenophylla grows together.
