TERRESTRIAL FLASKS :
DIURIS (Donkey Orchids)
Diuris are easily grown.
They prefer heavier soil mixes with less sand and more clay. The attractive
flowers on tall stems are concentrated in Spring and early Summer. There are
more than 60 species in the genus. Grow diuris under cover in bright light so
that the grass like leaves are not constantly wet in Winter to minimise leaf
rot. Hybrids are vigorous and free flowering but no-one has been able to make a
second generation cross yet. Price includes 3
tubers per variety.
