Does anybody know where I can get a yellow Neomarica in this country? I
have searched and searched but with no luck. They seem to be available in
the U.S. but not here.

Try
www.desirableplants.com

Despite the fact that we're practically neighbours, we'd never heard of them
until recently but they list what you're after. NB Mail Order by post only
- nobody can call at the Nursery and the address they give is not where the
Nursery is located, apparently.

Run by Julian and his wife, their planning permissions do not allow for
retailing at the nursery, we meet them at plant sales all over the place.
I think he does quite a few of the "Rare Plant fairs" and I know he is
happy to take plants to those, from what I can remember he doesn't do
mail order all year around.


When I saw Plant Fairs mentioned on their site, I thought you might know
them, Charlie. Have they been going for a long time? From what the site
says I don't think the Nursery is actually where they live,and if it's where
I'm thinking of, the access is quite difficult which could be why it's mail
order only. Bit like Guy Sisson's place when he was still in Devon?
