I just got into South African winter growers this year in a big way. I started with one kind of lachenalia which turned into a full fledged need for all of them. And from there this year it turned into all South African winter growers.

First I was going to do just 1 big pot but now I have have enough bulbs for 3 big pots. I wish I had a place for them in my garden.

I bought a Brunsvigia josephinae, a Brunsvigia gregaria and a Boophane haemanthoides from a local grower. They are all a ways away from blooming but I used small SA bulbs for a filler so they should put on a show in the mean time.

Here is the Brunsvigia josephinae I bought just after I bought it. You can tell it has a great root system. The grower had it in a grower pot for deep roots, it must have been 2 feet deep but only a few inches across.
