in the autumn of 2006 near the Vaal River south east of Stilfontein in the Free State. There were exceptional rains in the autumn of 2006 resulting in mass flowering of the Daubenyas.

Dear Penroc customers and potential new customers

We closed Penroc Seeds on February 28th, the end of our financial year. We made this decision based on the fact that we were running 3 businesses over the last 5 years and even though they are all small businesses, it has been challenging and exhausting and it makes perfect sense to want to consolidate our business interests into one company ie besides Simply Indigenous which will continue in the short term.

This will now allow us to focus all our creative initiatives, energy and resources into growing an enviable variety of South African bulbs as well as sourcing our own fresh seed of select South African flora. In the interim, all business will be done through Simply Indigenous Nursery and as soon as our new bulb, daylily and seed business is up and running, we will post a notification on the simply indigenous website and email all existing Penroc customers in this regard.

We still have lots of good seed available from Penroc as well as some new additions, so please email me at leigh@simplyindigenous.co.za and I will send you either a seed or bulb list as per your request. Please state your country of residence when requesting a list.

Thank you most sincerely to everyone who supported Penroc over the years. We endeavour to continue being of service to you in this exciting new venture that we are about to embark on.

Leigh & Johann Nieuwoudt
