of collection, I no longer had any way of distinguishing which were which.
From Jim Waddick:
11. Small bulblets of Tritonia dubia. I think these came originally from an
earlier PBS distribution. The bulbs are small and winter growing. Flowers a
pastel tangerine color. These are a small growing plants well suited to the
window sill for northern growers. Charming.
