Bulb lists from Penrock and Simply Indigenous Nursery

Jane,

Simply Indigenous is a nursery west of Pretoria near Hartbeespoort Dam.
We visited them during our trip to South Africa in 2006, and had a fine
time looking at their offerings of the native flora. The owners, Leigh
and Johann Nieuwoudt, were not there, however, off on a trip to Brazil.

Penroc is primarily Charles Craib's business, so far as I can tell, and
is managed by Leigh and Johann. The seeds are not cheap, but the
selection can't be matched, even by Silverhill. I ordered a bunch of
massonia, daubenya, and other bulb seeds last summer. I got reasonably
good germination, although there were a few duds--resnova and one of the
daubenyas come to mind. Excess will eventually go to the BX, by the way.

Alas, I'd have to classify most, if not all, of the offerings as warm
climate. They claim some will withstand hard frosts down to -10C, but
I'm guessing it always warms up the next day.

You have to request the price and availability lists, as Justin did.
