Hi, I am Bill Dijk from Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.
I am now retired (81) (whatever that means) but I seem to work harder than before retirement. My main interests are in iris species (oncocyclus/regalia) and rare and unusual bulbs and plants, although I will grow and enjoy almost anything that offers a challenge and produces beautiful plants and flowers.
My favourite geophytes are the exquisite and rare Tecophilaea, miniature Narcissi species and varieties, Iris, Cyrtanthus, Lachenalia, Romulea, Lapeirousia, Fritillaria, Hippeastrum, Brunsvigia, Oxalis, Leucocoryne, Rhodophiala, Paramongaia, Lycoris species, Tropaeolum, Trillium, Gladioli, Moraea, Ariseama, etc. just to mention a few of the most genera and species we grow.
Great to be amongst people with the same shared passion.
