Pancratium tenuifolium bulbs produce masses of
spirally twisted
leaves in the early summer after
the first good rainstorms. This
plant was photographed
in the arid sandy bushveld near Lephalele
in
Limpopo Province. The nursery stocks bulbs of
this Pancratium
species and the seeds are also
listed by Penrock Seeds.
Albizia
tanganyicensis is one of the most attractive
of South Africa’s
xerophytic trees. This group of
Albizias was photographed near Lephalele
in
Limpopo Province late in the winter shortly before
the emergence
of the flower buds which adorn the
leafless branches in the early
spring. Seeds of this
species are supplied by Penrock Seeds.
Cyrtanthus erubescens is one of South Africa’s most impressive bulbous plants. The dusky pink flowers appear in the early spring before the leaves.
This rare species is endemic to a small area high up in the mountains of the north central Drakensberg of Kwazulu Natal.
A limited number of young bulbs will be available through Penrock Plants as from April 2006.

PENROC
PLANTS
Penrock Plants is run by means of a retail and wholesale plant list.
These lists are updated as new stocks become available in the nursery.
The listings feature a range of bulbs and caudiciforms as well as
some succulent genera.
Amongst the specialities of the business are bulbs in various Amaryllid
genera. The nursery also stocks a good range of species in various
genera of the Hyacinthaceae.
SERVICES PROVIDED AND CONTACT DETAILS
Plants are sold in retail and wholesale quantities. Retail orders
are mostly for collectors and others who require smaller numbers
of plants. Wholesale orders are mainly for the nursery trade or
people needing large numbers of particular species.
RETAIL ORDERS
Plants are sold retail throughout the year but some are only
available at certain times. These details are discussed in detail
in the
introductory section to the retail plant list.
WHOLESALE ORDERS
Wholesale orders are sent throughout the year but there are some
exceptions particularly plants from the winter rainfall region
of South Africa. Wherever possible it is best for retail quantities
of different species to be ordered in advance of the required
delivery date as stocks in the nursery vary from one month
to the next.
PROCEDURE FOR REQUESTING THE PLANT LISTS
People who are considering ordering plants should indicate
if they require the retail or wholesale plant list. Please also let us know the country in which you reside, as this will determin the currency in which prices will appear on the list we send to you. In some
cases,
where
there are only small numbers of plants in the nursery, they
will only appear on the retail list.
Plant lists are preferably emailed but may also be faxed
or airmailed. If you would like us to fax you a list please

once a decade in this drought prone region.

Brunsvigia species from the Pela area of the Northern Cape.
These plants flower after early autumn rainfall and produce
leaves in the later autumn months of April and May.
They may
remain dormant for several years in
succession during severe droughts.
