Pterygodium magnum  Seeds Pterygodium is a small African genus, represented by 19 orchid species  in southern Africa and one in Tanzania. The plants are slender herbs with small to medium-sized flowers, and are often hard to recognize as orchids. They are found in a variety of different habitats, ranging from fynbos and bushveld to grassland. Some species are very common and easy to find, but others are known only from one or few sites and are rare even there. Most grow in small to large colonies. A mass display of P. acutifolium with hundreds or thousands of plants can often be seen in mountain marshes after fire, and P. alatum is normally found in dense clusters of countless individuals. Some species are known for their rather unpleasant odour, which can be quite strong. Pollination is by oil-collecting bees. Flowering occurs in spring or summer, with some species flowering mainly after fire. The plants grow terrestrially and have underground root tubers. Most species are less than 50 cm tall, but P. magnum has erect stems of up to 1.5 m length and is thus our tallest orchid. Leaves are lanceolate (lance-shaped) and borne all along the stem; they vary in number from one to many. Inflorescences are terminal and are laxly or densely one- to many-flowered. The small or medium-sized flowers are borne on unbranched spikes, with their colour ranging from yellow to green and white, and sometimes with a purple or maroon flush. While flowers of most species are resupinate (lip facing down), there are also two species with non-resupinate flowers. Flowers are generally open and cup-like which is an important difference to the otherwise very similar and closely related genus Corycium. The small and normally narrow lip is linear to deltate and has an elongate appendage. In structure the column is very complicated, with the two anther thecae (pollen sacs) separated and situated on the corners of an elongate horseshoe-shaped connecting part, and the two stigma pads on the median carpel. Growing orchids from seed is a fairly specialized undertaking and it requires a bit of understanding of tissue culture techniques. If you have never grown orchids from seed we recommend that before attempting this you should first contact your local Orchid Society, or purchase a book on the subject, or both!

Satyrium neglectum Seeds   Satyrium is widespread in temperate and montane Africa, and two species are to be found in Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Burma). The genus comprises about 90 species of orchids, of which 37 are found in South Africa. With their small non-resupinate flowers (lip facing up) Satyrium species do not really look 'orchid-like'. The African species of the genus grow in fynbos, grassland and miombo woodland, and can sometimes be found in extensive and dense colonies of thousands of individuals, particularly in the year after a veld fire. Most species are pollinated by moths which are attracted by the evening-scented flowers, but pollination by carrion flies and bees also occurs in the genus. Carrion fly-pollinated Satyrium flowers emit an unpleasant carrion-like odour. Flies, apparently hoping to find a dead animal to lay their eggs in, are attracted by these flowers and pollinate them. An exciting find was the recent discovery that three South African Satyrium species are pollinated by sunbirds. Satyrium neglectum commonly known as Pink Candle Satyrium is a South African indigenous species from the Eastern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and Mpumalanga Provinces. It is synonymously known as Satyrium colliferum. It grows from 14 cm to 95 cm tall. This summer rainfall species has two leaves. During summer it bears small sweetly-scented pink-dark red/orange flowers. It is best sown in spring.

Strelitzia is a genus of five species of perennial plants, indigenous to South Africa. The name Strelitzia was given to honour Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III of England. She was from the house of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. A common name of the genus is bird of paradise flower, because of a supposed resemblance of its flowers to the bird of paradise. In South Africa it is commonly known as a crane flower. The flowers are ideal for cut flowers and last up to 20 days in a vase. They can all be grown in large pots or tubs but will require regular feeding and irrigation. There are three tree-like Strelitzia species Strelitzia alba, Strelitzia caudata and Strelitzia nicolai. The other two species Strelitzia reginae and Strelitzia juncea are shrub-like tufted clump-forming species. In Kirstenbosch released a yellow variety of Strelitzia reginae which in was named Mandela’s Gold in honour of Nelson Mandela.           Strelitzias are easy plants to grow in the garden. Plants do well in full sun to semi-shade, love a rich loamy soil and plenty of water throughout the year. They respond well to regular feeding with a slow release fertilizer and compost. They are however very tolerant plants and will thrive in most soils and can survive with very little water once established. The plants are also wind resistant and grow well in coastal gardens. Strelitzias are sensitive to cold and would need a sheltered position in areas with frost as the flowers and leaves are often damaged by frost. In very cold climates it is better to grow them in pots that could be moved indoors when freezing temperatures are expected. Strelitzia reginae is a bold structural plant, which forms large evergreen clumps of stiff leaves growing up from the base. The grey-green banana-like leaves grow about 1,5 m in height and the flowers stand above the foliage at the tips of long stalks. Mature plants are very floriferous with flowers in autumn, winter and spring. The structure and pollination of the flowers are rather interesting. The hard, beak-like sheath from which the flower emerges, is called the spathe. This is placed at right angles to the stem, which gives it the appearance of a bird's head. When the birds sit to have a drink of nectar, the petals open to cover their feet in pollen.

  The plant grows to 2 m (6.6 ft) tall, with large, strong leaves 2570 cm (9.828 in) long and 1030 cm (3.912 in) broad, produced on petioles up to 1 m (39 in) long. The leaves are evergreen and arranged in two ranks, making a fan-shaped crown. The flowers stand above the foliage at the tips of long stalks. The hard, beak-like sheath from which the flower emerges is termed the spathe. This is placed perpendicular to the stem, which gives it the appearance of a bird's head and beak; it makes a durable perch for holding the sunbirds which pollinate the flowers. The flowers, which emerge one at a time from the spathe, consist of three brilliant orange sepals and three purplish-blue petals. Two of the blue petals are joined together to form an arrow-like nectary. When the sunbirds sit to drink the nectar, the petals open to cover their feet in pollen.

Dietes grandiflora Seeds Common Names: Large Wild Iris, Fairy Iris This well known indigenous large wild iris is commonly grown in gardens and used in large landscapes throughout the country. It is a perennial, evergreen plant which grows up to 1.5m in large clumps. It grows naturally along the eastern coastal areas of the southern Cape, Eastern Cape and southern Kwazulu-Natal where it may be found in full sun or partial shade at forest margins, or in the shelter of taller shrubs on exposed slopes facing the sea. The name Dietes means "having two relatives" and refers to the relationship between this genus and Moraea and Iris. Grandiflora means "large flower". Dietes grandiflora plants grow from underground rhizomes. The long, rigid, sword-shaped leaves are held in a fan shape. The leaves are dark green and may reach up to 1m long and mm wide. The attractive flowers are large (about 100mm across) and are white with yellow nectar guides and outer tepals and violet central segments. The flowers are held on erect, slender stems which are about 1m in length. The flowers are borne in mass at certain periods - often after rain in summer. The individual flowers do not last more than a couple of days (so are of no use in a vase) however, the plant bears so many flowers during the peak period that the plant looks most striking. The flowers attract lots of bees and other pollinators. This plant is occasionally called the "Fairy Iris" because the fragile white petals not only look like fairy wings, but also have a tendency to disappear mysteriously overnight!

Parodia is a genus of flowering plants in the cactus family Cactaceae. The genus is named after the Argentine botanist Lorenzo Raimundo Parodi who lived from 1895 to 1966. Flowers in all species arise from fuzzy buds, typically with bristles, at the apex. Flowers are cup-shaped and point straight up. They are easy to grow, have intriguing stems and spines and flower easily with brightly-coloured flowers. This fact in combination with their relatively small size, ensure that nearly all cactus growers will have some representative of this group. While advanced hobbyists may grow many of the various species and subspecies.           The genus has about 50 species, many of which have been transferred from Eriocactus, Notocactus and Wigginsia. They are native to the uplands of Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay and range from small globose plants to 1 meter tall columnar cacti. All are deeply ribbed and spiny, with single flowers at or near the crown. Some species produce offsets at the base and most are free flowering, with stunning blooms throughout the year. These cacti are perfect for rockeries, where they will give your garden splashes of colour or as pot plants on a sunny windowsill. Either way you are assured of many years of joy. Parodia roseolutea is a solitary globular cactus from southern South America. Parodia roseolutea grows up to 25cm in circumference and is nicely spined. It produces magnificent 7.5cm flowers in late spring. They are red to pink with a yellow throat. This plant seems to incorporate some of the features of both Parodia herteri and Parodia mammulosa. Both flower colour and spination seem to be midway between the two species. The plant can ultimately reach the size of Parodia herteri but it flowers at a much smaller size and withstands some winter coldness.

  DAUBENYA ZEYHERI SEEDS       You are bidding on 5 seeds       Daubenya is a genus in the Hyacinthaceae family from South Africa.  Most of the species are found in the winter rainfall area.  Common to all are two spreading prostrate leaves and white to yellow or red tubular flowers in a condensed raceme followed by papery capsules with smooth glossy seeds.  Flowers are pollinated by butterflies, beetles, sunbirds and bees depending on the individual species. Daubenya Zeyheri is from calcareous-coastal sand s in the South Western Cape.  It has glossy green leaves and flowers with white petals and showy red-orange filaments.  That much alone makes it an attractive plant when viewed from the side.   The wonderful surprise comes when you view it from above.  The bottom of the stamens are coloured purple and this colour reflects in the copious nectar pools that gather in the flowers.  It looks like the flowers are filled with glowing amethysts.  The nectar attracts sunbirds who pollinate it.  Daubenya Zeyheri is a flat growing species, which flowers on the ground.   All Daubenya Zeyheri are winter growers.    Sowing instructions will be emailed after purchase   Shipping Options:   Post Office FastMail  (delivery in 4-5 working days) R39.00 for the first item (5 seeds), R5.00 per additional item Fastway Couriers (Pta / Jhb / Dbn / Cape Town / Nelspruit / Witbank / Middelburg / Rustenburg / Pinetown / Pietermaritzburg - delivery in 1-2 working days) R85.00 for the first item  (5 seeds), R5.00 per additional item Fastway Couriers (East London / PE / George - delivery in 2-3 working days) R85.00 for the first item  (5 seeds), R5.00 per additional item   Fastway Couriers (Knysna - delivery in 3-4 working days)   R85.00 for the first item  (5 seeds), R5.00 per additional item     If you are unsure if the courier delivers to your area, please message me to confirm   Courier delivery prices quoted are for the cities listed above.   The courier will deliver to other smaller towns but there is a R80.00 outlying area surcharge payable for deliveries to outlying areas (eg.

Most species are pollinated by moths which are attracted by the evening-scented flowers, but pollination by carrion flies and bees also occurs in the genus. Carrion fly-pollinated Satyrium flowers emit an unpleasant carrion-like odour. Flies, apparently hoping to find a dead animal to lay their eggs in, are attracted by these flowers and pollinate them. An exciting find was the recent discovery that three South African Satyrium species are pollinated by sunbirds. Satyrium macrophyllum is a South African indigenous species from the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal Provinces. It is synonymously known as Satyrium brachyrhynchum, Satyrium cheirophorum and Satyrium speciosum. It grows to 50 cm tall. During autumn it sends up a 30 cm spike of pink flowers. This attractive species is normally encountered in damp grassland. Growing orchids from seed is a fairly specialized undertaking and it requires a bit of understanding of tissue culture techniques. If you have never grown orchids from seed we recommend that before attempting this you should first contact your local Orchid Society, or purchase a book on the subject, or both!
