Yes, we're still here, lurking! We can get more of the Amatola Z.
aethiopica seeds when Cameron goes there again in late September. I have
seen this species growing in many different hab.tats and elevations in
South Africa.
We still have seeds (fresh!) of the 'Marshmallow' variety that you got
from us when we traded under the 'Croft' name (which we had to give up
when we sold the property). I will send some to the PBX.

in a rather 'hot' Napier - 25C today, a deluge must be approaching.

Dear all;
It has been a few days since I mentioned the Aril Iris
Society home page and plant sale. No one has responded. I know some
of this group grow these plants. I am not talking to them, but to the
members who don't know these iris. Please take a look at the Society
home page at: http://www.arilsociety.org/arilsociety.pl?index .

If you are not familiar with these, the pictures should be
very interesting. These are not the old tall bearded iris.

I am a member of the society, but have no special agenda in
plugging them except that they are worth growing and the current sale
is a good reminder of how important it is to support specialty
societies of all sorts.

Please take a look and let th others of us know what you
think. Thanks Jim W.
