MALVERN AUTUMN SHOW 2009

Another magnificent display of Nerines.

Not just blooms, background information and leaflets, too.

LACHENALIA DAY at Exbury 7th March 2009

Although Lachenalias are not amaryllids, they are also Southern African bulbs.

Requiring similar cultivation conditions to amaryllids, but flowering in Spring rather than in Autumn, they complement each other well and are grown by a number of NAAS members. 

The Five Arrows Gallery, Exbury.

Welcome and introduction by NAAS President, Nicholas de Rothschild.

General view of the plants, with shades of red, yellow and gold much in evidence.

Pictures of the plants in more detail, showing that, in fact, lachenalias come in a wide range of eye-catching colours.
