INTRODUCTION

  Dockrillia linguiformis ‘Tumbi’ (count the flowers)

It hasn’t been an easy year for the seedlings/ plants with the dramatic weather changes we’ve experienced during 2007. The lack of rain, then the deluges and the high humidity, hasn’t been any help but we did manage to do what we did with what was available and were rewarded with those results, which confirms that, quality does count.

On that quality note, we are pleased to announce that D U N O has received the Gold 2007 Bill Murdoch with OUR Dockrilia linguiformis ‘Tumbi’.  Dock. striolata ‘Ruffles’ AD/AM/ANOS-AOC  received another Gold certificate and  Sarc. hartmannii  ‘Dopey’ a Bronze. Whilst the Hybrid department D. Elegant Heart ‘Windy’ was Champion Australian Native Hybrid, at the Wetlands, and one of the five Silver Ira Butler Trophies recipients. 

Our Congratulations to Mr. Phil Grech (DUNO customer) in winning the Gold Ira Butler ’07 with Den. Jayden ‘Goodie’. Whilst on the Ira Butler, a further seven received Silver Trophies or Certificates that are directly attributed to  D U N O breeding.

The Hermon Slade Hybrid Judging saw our good friend Neville (alias Nifty) Lee received the trophy with his Dock. Tweetas. D U N O also received two of the four certificates.

ON A SERIOUS NOTE.
