You're welcome! I enjoyed the rose for many years and spread it around to any and all who would grow it until I couldn't maintain it any longer. Unfortunately, I no longer have any photos nor slides of it. Most were destroyed in a 1996 fire. The remaining ones I salvaged were discarded last month when I had to significantly reduce my "clutter" when I moved. The photos in the URLs I sent could easily be substituted for what I regularly experienced in my climate and garden. I have always spread anything old, rare, unusual and obscure as far and as wide as possible. I NEVER want to be the one holding the last unicorn horn. Too many wonderful and interesting things have been lost that way. Ralph Moore handed me many of his breeders and interesting seedlings over the years with this in mind and I've had the pleasure of sharing many of them back with him when he'd lost them. But, you reach a point where you just can't be the archivist nor curator of everything anymore.

GREAT site, Bahia! Thanks for the link! :D

I ordered a book (aloes of south africa) from kalahari. It was cheaper (even with shipping) than buying the book from a source here in the USA. However, my credit card company freaked out and said someone in south africa was using my credit card. But once I okayed it, the transaction went through. Then, the next day, the credit card company called again and asked if the transactions I made around in my home town were by me! Good vigilance, but yes, that was me too. Kalahari sells lots of different stuff.

I am looking for a few different south African bulbs or seeds in the genus Boophane, Massonia, Daubenya and Gladiolus species. I anyone has trade material or knows of a retail source for these plants in Canada please let me know. Mike
