Mandela's Gold at Phoenix Perennials Hi Daniel, I was just searching around on the internet for information on Strelitzia 'Mandela's Gold' and came across your posting. I'm the owner of Phoenix Perennials in Richmond (British Columbia) and we just got some in. I'm very excited about it. www.phoenixperennials.com Cheers, Gary
Hello Gary, We talked briefly when you passed along your article for the Davidsonia. Why not register and participate on the boards a bit? We've got some great plantspeople who post regularly, but more would certainly be welcome!
