From Pieter van der Walt:
1. Bulbs of Cyrtanthus breviflorus
From Rogan Roth:
2. Bulbs of Bessera elegans
3. Seed of Aloe minima
From Lynn Makela:
SEED:
4. Freesia laxa azurea
5. Freesia viridis
6. Habranthus brachyandrus 'Cherry Pink' This is a very good form of
brachyandrus, robust and with good color.
7. Habranthus robustus var. biflorus I have taken liberty with this name.
The original seed came to me named H. biflorus. It is most certainly H.
robustus with two flowers on one stem. The seed was collected from only
those bulbs showing two flowers and as the pot was inside my lanai . . they
were most likely self-pollinated. The first year they flowered, only a few
bulbs showed the twin flowers. This year, however, almost the whole,
overcrowded pot had them. It has been a very dry spring and the pot dried
out several times. Perhaps that's the answer to the twin flowers. There is a
picture of it on the IBS gallery sent by Willem Reuter.
8. Habranthus gracilifolius This could be H. estensis. It is soft pink and
the flower looks very delicate.
9. Hippeastrum gracilis 'Firey Bouquet'
10. Zephyranthes katherinae v. rubra
11. Zephyranthes mesochloa
12. Zephyranthes primulina
13. Zephyranthes reginae 'Valles Yellow'
BULBS:
14. Oxalis brasiliensis
15. Nothoscordum filipponei (sellowianum)
From Stephen Putman:
16. Seed of Crinum bulbispermum

17. Small bulbs of Colchicum cilicicum
Thank you, Pieter, Rogan, Lynn, Stephen, and Arnold !!
