Hi Dell:
Please send me the Oxalis Bulbs which are
12.  Flava - color?
13.  Obtusa - color?
14.  Obtusa - peach 
Dell, as you know I am new to plants but Oxalis drew me in;
I would like your help.  I am interested in a Winter growing white
flower of some type preferably with a nice scent.  Can you help me?
if any one donates something like this I would love to have it.
Thank you for all of your help and generosity.
Chris

> 9. Gladiolus carmineus -- fall blooming before the leaves so I'd plant
them

wiki.
> 11. Moraea bellendenii -- winter growing, late blooming, tall yellow.
> Cormlets. I think these are right, but I grow so many Moraeas others could

> 12. Oxalis flava -- winter growing, South African
> 13. Oxalis obtusa -- winter growing, forgot to note the color
> 14. Oxalis obtusa -- winter growing, peach colored
