From Pieter van der Walt:
SEEDS:
1. Boophone disticha, "courtesy of BuPSSA, the Bulbous Plant Society of
Southern African - a lively group of gardeners, botanists and
horticulturists who meet once a month at the Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden
in Roodepoort, Gauteng, for a talk about bulbs by an expert speaker. BuPSSA
has been going for about two years now, and hope to have a webpage up and
running in the near future to facilitate communication, post articles and
manage the seed exchange that sprouted from its meetings. BuPSSA aims to
serve a similar membership than IBSA, but for the Northern regions of South
Africa, international membership will also become possible in the future,
once their journal has been sorted out."
2. Crinum ligulatum, "originally from Itremo, Madagascar. The seeds are
from hand-pollinated plants in my collection. This is a very beautiful
species."
3. Nelumbo nucifera var. caspicum aka Russian Red Lotus, "from the Volga
River Delta in Russia, I received my original material from Walter Pagels
who is known the world over for his contributions to watergardening. These
have single, dark pink flowers which are produced prolifically through
summer."
Thank you, Pieter !!
Best wishes,
Dell
