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. http://www.penroc.co.za/ http://www.simplyindigenous.co.za/ You have to request the price and availability lists, as Justin did. --Roy Jane McGary wrote: > Justin wrote, > I just got in my email the May 2009 Bulb lists for Penrock and Simply > Indigenous Nursery. > >> >> If looking at these two lists and they don't make you drool then you >> should never need a bib. > > Justin, could you describe more what these nurseries offer?
