Seeds of Hippeastrum from NZ

That was supposed to say Clivia. I wanted to post it here because I know many of you all are also clivia fans.

Got this as an email today. The prices are for 1 Seed. The number before the price is the number of seeds available. Price is in NZ currency (I think?)

Here is the photo album http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/alickmcl/my_photos

No need to reply or thank me.

It is just for information purposes or for people who really want to try something new and better than EBay's bidding frenzy.

Dale,,,,you know you are another 'enabler',,LOL thanks for the link. My orange clivias seem to really love it here in the part-shade. May have to try some of these. Elaine

My piggy bank can look forward to being sledge hammered in the near future.
Expect protests from the Loyal Order Of Pigs, Local 777.

as long as it's not Local 999, we will all be fine.
