Pat, you may have explained this before, but do you cover the beds with those roofing tiles in the winter to avoid waterlogging?

Richard I was given the tiles to do borders but they have only been used to support roofing iron so that certain patches do not get winter rain. About 10 high in places depending on the slope and rocks in the way.
I am hoping to improve the drainage enough that I do not need to cover them.

OK a few more but it is AB season starting and the species are fading with only an odd new one now.
I will show the aril species hybrids in this post and the arilbreds in the next post.
I really love the soft pink lortetii like ones and the last two. The veining in the standards is amazing.

The species are my first love but some of the ABs can be lovely but not ethereal.

Thanks Pat.  The great thing about the forum is that we can get each season twice a year!

We can see the plants which the "northern" forumists show, and then you come up with these beauties again only six months later !

I don't think Otto Fauser realized before, that Heaven is actually in South Australia. I don't want to hurry him on his way, but definitely something to look forward to. ;D

Thanks everyone - sounds crazy me thanking you for mother nature's adventures with me.
David Shahak should be the one thanked for sharing his aril seeds as he was the source of most of the original seeds I started with.
Iris sari is showing colour and may be out early this week. Blow I just realised I will be in Renmark from Thursday till Sunday and will miss the other two buds. 27C tomorrow which might hurry them up. I will add a few more photos soon.

Hello friends. I have 3 paradoxa atrata seedlings up from my pod last spring.
I bought 3 atrata from Lithuanian bulb last year and
2 clumps bloomed. I froze the pollen from the first bloom
and put it on the last bloom. Got 50 seeds! Planted some
in the outside open bed in June and 2 weeks ago 3 popped up.

Today a bloom is open on Return to Aga. It is a very
reliable fall bloomer.
