Dear Mary Sue, I thought that you might like to know that the pinch of these that I brought back with me from the conference are now around three inches tall and growing away very strongly in my cold greenhouse. So well are they growing that they will need potting on to a larger pot before the next couple of weeks are past. Also, its really starting to become Oxalis time here. Around ten species are flowering today, including O. anomala, for the first time, and O. gracilis will be joining them shortly. Many of the Nerine sp. are also flowering well. However, the garden itself remains a desert, with only 10mm of rain since August 1st. Best regards, David Victor
