Catalogue of Rhodohypoxis and x Rhodoxis
Please note we are not professional photographers and apologise now for the quality of the photographs. We have been asked frequently for pictures of the Rhodohypoxis and x Rhodoxis so when we have had the time we have tried to oblige. We will add more as soon as we can but are having trouble reproducing the dark pinks/reds. If anyone can give us some useful tips we will be most grateful. Thank-you for your patience.
POSTAGE AND PACKING - Originally, we only sent corms out by mail order when they were dormant or just breaking dormancy during the early spring months, but have frequently been asked for them to be sent out while in active growth which we now do. The cost of postage and packing will therefore vary accordingly. Please contact us if you require more information regarding posting costs.
P.& P. £4.00 from early March until early April
P.& P. £6.00 when in active growth to allow for the extra weight.....Please refer to Mail Order section for more details before ordering. Thank you.
**Please note the corms of some species and a few cultivars, depending on their parentage, are naturally small but this will have no effect on their performance. It is just the way they are.
