south african amaryllids

Kipp, if you are supporting the plundering of wild plants or animals it is irrelevant if they are for propagation or not. Paying for this material only encourages further plundering and it has been so forever.
Again, I am puzzled by this search of new sources when there are several that are proven and known for a long time.
Greetings,
This is very disappointing to hear. I have already received bulbs from this company and now it seems they are not as reputable as I had every reason to believe previously. At least my intent for these bulbs is propagation. It is unfortunate how fraught with unintended harm the exotic bulb hobby can be...

The selling of plants rescued from development sites is illegal in South
Africa, so I suggest that you do not support this company.

Greetings,
A South African nursery from whom I regularly purchase bulbs has
informed me
that they have a large allotment of rescue bulbs from sites in the
northern,
western Cape. The list of bulbs includes: Ammocharis longifolia,
Ammocharis
coranica, Boophane haemanthoides, Boophone disticha, Brunsvigia
bosmaniae,
Brunsvigia gregaria, Brunsvigia orientalis, Gethyllis afra, Gethyllis
linearis,
Haemanthus humilis and Haemanthus pubescens. These are all large, mature
bulbs.
Please send me a note off-list and I can give you the pricelist and
contact
information of the seller.
