Johannes-Ulrich Urban a *crit :. > The plants I distributed under the name of Oxalis bowiei are defintely from Mexico and not South African. (unless two very different and very knowlegeable donors made the same mistake, who knows?) Dear Uli, I grow this Oxalis here (came from a garden on the Cote d'Azur), and does vey well in a mediterranean cycle. This is the first time I hear a statement that some Oxalis may orginate from Mexico (not a mediterraean climate) Could some Oxalis experts amongst us verify the origin of this species as I have it noted as coming from South Africa. Look forward to hearing froml you. -- Lauw de Jager BULB'ARGENCE, 30300 Fourques, France Région: Provence/Camargue; (Climat zone 9a Mediterranean) Site: http://www.bulbargence.com/ "GUIDE POUR BULBES MÉDITERRANÉENS": 116 pages, 400 photos, prix 10 E CATALOGUE D'ÉTÉ' (SUMMERCATALOG) est disponible, EXPEDITION bulbes continuera jusqu'à mi-octobre (espèces à floraison automnale sont replantées)
