Hi, Mary, These announcements always make me go & check out the pics on the wiki. I'm just one of those shy lurkers, LOL!

I had almost decided to stop announcing when I do this since rarely does anyone respond so I don't know if this is something that people would rather find out on their own. But since there was this discussion of hardy Moraea plants I added another picture of M. alticola which I suspect was photographed in the Drakensberg. It obviously was hardy in Harry Hay's garden in the UK where we saw it and I believe Silverhill sells seed of it. For those people interested in the winter rainfall bulbs, I've added an additional picture from Alan Horstmann of M. barnardii and photos from my husband and me of M. bubalina which we discovered north of Nieuwoudtville in September. We were spending a few days traveling with Marlene and Bob Werra and after seeing some marvelous displays of flowers it was later in the day when a lot of the flowers were closing so we debated whether it was worth driving on. We decided to go on and saw some nice daisies and a few Hesperanthas opening as they do late in the day, but we hadn't found too much different in the way of bulbs and had decided to turn around and go back to our lodging and stopped for a last look. My husband spotted this one. It was a species none of us had seen and Bob Werra so loves Moraeas that it always makes his day to see a new one. We spent a lot of time in this tiny area looking at the different ones we could find. It's one of those plants you have to look hard to find as it blends in as you can see from the picture of the whole plant where you have to look hard to make it out. Fortunately my husband is very good at spotting plants like that. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Mary Sue _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
