Today I hurried out during a sun break (a weather term that seems to be indigenous to the Pacific Northwest) and photographed a whole lot of bulbs, then posted them on the wiki. I have some questions about two of them. First, here is another mystery Narcissus: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… There is a subsp. albidus of N. romieuxii, but I don't find occidentalis among the epithets of any member of the Bulbocodium section in the literature I have. Any ideas, Harold and Kathy? Second, here is a really serious mystery Sternbergia: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… The story of it is on the Photographs and Information page for Sternbergia. In short, it has yellow flowers in fall and utterly S. candida-like foliage in spring, and it was part of a batch of bulbs bought by Panayoti Kelaidis in the early 1990s, which apparently had been wild-dug because there were S. candida bulbs among them. Any ideas? The other items include: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… I've requested a page be set up for Corydalis, which I'm sure many of us will be photographing in the coming weeks.
