Dietes White Tiger

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can order/get some Dietes "White Tiger" plants, there don't seem to be any stockists of this particular Dietes variety anymore. I'm keen on this variety as they had some planted at an office site (now demolished and gone) I used to work at and they looked great and could survive the Canberra winters.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tried Ms Google, but she wasn't very helpful with regards to mail order nurseries, although I did notice a few wholesalers.

You might contact the wholesalers and ask if they supply to a Canberra nursery or a mail order one anywhere.

The current About the Garden Magazine seems to make mention of this plant but I didn't read it (computer running as slow as). If they are worth their salt, they should know where to get it.

If you find it, do tell. It's a very attractive plant.

Here is a link that might be useful: About the Garden Magazine

Thanks for the interest, I had a happy outcome after almost giving up hope. (Photo attached isn't the best but the 'White Tigers' are doing great in my Canberra garden).

After sending out a lot of emails to wholesale nurseries I finally found a very helpful person at plantsgalore.com.au (in Victoria) who had some in stock but could only supply to local retail nurseries... again after contacting a number of local Canberra nurseries, who honestly weren't very helpful (one nursery owner actually told me they wouldn't do well in our climate and winter frost would kill them), finally the lovely people at 'Yarralumla Nursery' got them in (after months on their waiting list, I'd given up) even the guy who delivered them to me was impressed by the plants. And I'm proud to say they are thriving beautifully and continued to look great even through last year's frosty winter.

Beautiful! And will be even more beautiful when they develop into a size clump.

I'll have to track some down for myself. I don't live far from Canberra so enjoy the same delightful (?) winters.
