Just received my allocation of seeds from
the Botanical Society of SA. Always an
exciting time as one nurtures them full of
hope! I wondered whether any other medit-l
members subscribe to this society and receive
seeds. These are some of the seeds I got
and I'd be interested in comments from anyone
growing these plants. Burchellia bubalina I
know is not a medit plant but subtropical.
However for sentimental reasons I have to
give it a go. The others I chose mainly on
the grounds that they tolerate shade (according
to the notes). They are predominantly western
Cape and thus mediterranean, so it would be
interesting to know if other list members grow
them. The different agapanthus sp. would be
such an interesting change as one only sees
the common-or-garden blue or white here,
A. praecox I think.
