too, in case I don't already have it. Availability is based on a first come,

included with them, a statement of how much money (usually $2.00/item)

please) you should send to the PBS treasurer to defray our costs for packing
and first-class, priority-mail, or international postage.

From Corina Rieder:
BULBS:
1. Polyxena species 'ex Silverhill 11157' from the Nargs 2007/2008 seed
exchange. They are 1st year blooming size & show two forms- one pink/violet
with wider, shortish leaves (compare to P. ensifolia but fewer flowers), the
other whitish with longer thinner leaves (compare to P.longituba). Sorry,
the two types were mixed up accidentally by my four year old...
2. Gladiolus carneus offsets
3. Gladiolus tristus hybrid -clone offsets of a light brickish color with
darker brick nectar guides and not fragrant. Do not know the other parent,
but probably G. huttonii. Originally purchased from Canyon Creek Nursery in
Oroville CA about ten years ago.
SEED:
4. Moraea vegeta - open pollinated near an unidentified Moraea similar to M.
setifolia.
5. Ixia pumilio - selfed
6. Melasphaerula ramosa
7. Romulea hirta - open pollinated near R. tortuosa, R. citrina, R.
