I believe it is getting nearer David ... Yorkshire has promised to send us something called a self-destruct machine.  Jolly decent of them, eh?

And another super Log it is. The little Lachenalia looks more like Massonia, but perhpas not in the leaves. Beautiful plants all over, for the autumn period.

Hi Uli ,

thank you !

Renate is a good friend of mine and we swap often - her nursery is one of the best sources here in Germany !

I know also this page from South African Bulbs ....but those sources are mostly old ....p.e. Monocot Nursery ....(I really regret this )

The problem in this time is more and more order from other continents ....and it is not possibly to import plants without a "phyto" .....
