Hi everyone, My name is Ron Redding and I have been on a bulb collection rampage for nearly seven years. I have a very recent experience with "Walking Iris" or neomarica sp that form plantlets on the scape after flowering. I cut off and potted 30 plants six months ago in a "standard" potting mix and also staked down some plantlets. I used no hormone and did not wait for roots to form, I now have thirty flowering potted plants and another large bunch of plants in my garden bed. I have found that these plants have an amazing will to live all by themselves and don't really need any help in my part of the world. I live in the sub-tropics in Hervey Bay in Queensland, Australia and have a collection of warm climate bulbs and broms that I am very proud off, however I still have a large wish list and the more I learn to more there is.
