From Tom Glavich:
Bulbs
4. Albuca sp. Gnome, South Africa A rapidly clustering Albuca with wire
leaves.
5. Albuca aurea, with spectacular yellow flowers. Best flowers in the
genus for a garden display.
6. Albuca circinata, now lumped with Albuca spiralis, but the spiral leaves
are very different. It is also happy above ground, where A.spiralis is
not.It readily crosses with A. spiralis.
7. Albuca fragrans, not very fragrant
8. Drimia sp. ex Peter Sharp, ex South Coast Botanic Garden (LA), ex
Seymour Linden Originally collected by Seymour Linden in South Africa,
locality unknown. South Coast Botanic Garden produced hundreds of offsets,
and this is fairly common is Southern California collections. I would love
to know the correct name. It is not Drimia media, or Drimia epigea. The
combination of bulb shape, leaf shape and texture, offsetting and flowers
does not match anything we can find.
9. Drimiopsis kirkii, a good summer grower. Light green with dark green
spotted leaves.
10. Ledebouria cooperii easy to grow, but needs lots of water and some
calcium to keep the leaf tips green.
11. Ledebouria species, ex Croft Wild Bulb Nursery long soft thin elegant
leaves, little spotting
12. Ledebouria violacea form 1 1 of many.
SEEDS:
13. Dipcadi flava great chocolate flowers
14. Ornithogalum pilosum brilliant yellow
15. Pelargonium triste a geophytic pelargonium
16. Scilla peruviana
From Richard Wagner:
SEEDS:
17. Sparaxis grandiflora var. grandiflora
18. Veltheimia bracteata
19. Lachenalia mutabilis
20. Lachenalia alba
From Stephen Putman:
21. Small bulbs of Hippeastrum puniceum
22. Seed of Scilla natalensis
23. Seed of Zephyranthes grandiflorum
