From Mary Sue Ittner:

BULBS:

1. Oxalis bowiei This made the favorite pink category of a couple of us.
This is a fall blooming, tall, big gorgeous plant.

2. Oxalis callosa Another favorite of mine, ex Telos, pink with a red ring. 
Fall blooming.

3. Oxalis commutata -South Africa, winter growing, fall blooming, tiny
succulent leaves and lavender-pink flowers with a strong scent like talcum
powder.

4. Oxalis engleriana -South African, fall blooming, linear leaves

5. Oxalis flava yellow, winter growing, fall blooming

6. Oxalis flava (lupinifolia) -- lupine like leaves and pink flowers, fall
blooming

7. Oxalis flava (pink)  -- leaves low to ground, attractive, last year some
of  the flowers were also yellow (along with the pink)

8. Oxalis flava (yellow, obtained by the wrong name, Oxalis namaquana, but
really flava)

9. Oxalis gracilis- received from Uli as O. karooica, interesting leaves,
not as many blooms as I'd like, but the color of the flowers is nice

10. Oxalis livida - fall blooming (if it blooms), narrow divided leaves

11. Oxalis luteola MV 5567   60km s of Clanwilliam.  1.25" lt yellow flrs,
darker ctr. This one has been very reliable for me in Northern California

12. Oxalis melanosticta 'Ken Aslet' -- has bloomed for me two years in a row
in a very large pot, but mainly grown for its hairy soft leaves

13. Oxalis Metallic Pink -- received from Bill Baird, yet to bloom, seems
like the pink is on the back of the leaves

14. Oxalis MV4674 not sure what species this one is. Collected by Michael
Vassar as 16km north into Sweekspoort, South Africa, was described by him as
a tiny tufted plant with tiny leaves. It has pink flowers and blooms in the
fall.

From Pam Slate:

BULBS:

15. Zephyranthes labufarosea (Note from Dell:  while researching to
determine the correct spelling of this one, I found that the late Thad
Howard said this is a natural bigeneric hybrid of Cooperia and Zephyranthes
and should be named "x Cooperanthes "Labufaroseus")

16. Zephyranthes 'Prairie Sunset'

17. Zephyranthes candida

From Gary Meltzer:

18. Seed of Gloriosa superba

From PBS:

SEEDS:

19. Gethyllis grandiflora

20. Clivia nobilis

21. Haemanthus coccineus

Thank you, Mary Sue, Pam, and Gary !!

Best wishes,
Dell
