Quoting a post by Mary Sue to the PBS list...

Rhoda McMaster has kindly shared with us the articles Cameron wrote between 2007 and 2009 for Farmer's Weekly about many South African bulbs so we could archive them and they would be available to download. I've spent a lot of time adding them to the wiki and linking them to the wiki pages of the genera, family, or species he was writing about. The pdf files are really good quality since they are the originals and the information is informative and interesting and the photos spectacular. Cameron hoped to educate farmers about the wonderful bulbs they might find on their properties in the hope that they would be protected and conserved. You can find these articles here:

And there is a link too on the archive page.

David has informed me that some people have already found them. We are grateful that these articles can have wider distribution.

Hello Mary Sue,

Thank you very much for this work. I have corresponded in the past with Cameron and am growing bulbs which I received from him as seed or seedling bulbs, all of them of outstanding beauty and quality. I have no time right now to read through his articles but I looked at two of them: excellent. 
Another valuable addition to the WIKI

These latest additions are valuable because they're good material that is not available anywhere else.

As a child I would have run bare foot through fields of corn, these days I worry why is it "Farmer's Weekly" but "Gardeners' World" (apostrophe position).
