  • I see Mike Clifford mentions Crûg as one of his sources... I hang out on their website a lot, they have some wonderful plants from their own expeditions in the Far East.

  • For @didyw and anyone else interested in how my critically endangered dendroseris litoralis have done in the year since I first posted this, pictured below is October 2021 and March 2022.

    I'm pleased to say that 5 of my 7 plants survived their overwintering in a heated shed, albeit with my reduced foliage. There are still a few more winters to get through before these will flower!

    For context, here are some photos of its remote Pacific home:

    Thanks for this!  It's a long way from home but it sounds as if you are doing all you can to make your plants feel welcome and loved!
