specify quantities. It is a good idea to include your snail mail address,
too, in case I don't already have it. Availability is based on a first come,
first served system. When you receive your seeds/bulbs you will find,
included with them, a statement of how much money (usually $2.00/item)
(cash, check, or Pay Pal to <Arnold140@verizon.net>; no money orders,
please) you should send the PBS treasurer to defray our costs for packing
and first-class, priority-mail, or international postage.

From Mary Sue Ittner:

BULBS:

1. Oxalis sp. from Uli -- collected in Oaxaca, Mexico. It is summer growing
and blooming.

2. Oxalis triangularis- Although I used to grow this outside in summer, I
have lately been growing it in a pot in a bathroom (with a window and a
skylight so there is indirect light) and it stays in growth as long as I
water it and blooms off and on all year. I let it dry out however so I could
share some of the bulbs with others. It has purple leaves and light pink
flowers and very strange bulbs.

3. Rhodohypoxis baurii var. platypetala -- originally from some BX, these
are white with a pink tinge, summer growing.

4. Zantedeschia 'Blaze' -bright orange flowers and green leaves with white
spots, summer growing. From Ellen Hornig:

5. Seed of Zantedeschia jucunda (donated by Uli Urban)

 CORMS/TUBERS:

 6. Typhonium diversifolium (according to Wilbert Hetterscheid, will become
Sauromatum diversifolium) - from seed collected at 3200m on Garwhal Himal in
India  -very variable foliage, little green or sometimes purplish spathes

7. Gladiolus crassifolius

8. Gladiolus mortonius

9. Tritonia drakensbergensis

10. Tigridia pavonia 'Sunset in Oz' - my own intro, years ago; a form with
"flame" coloring, streaks and shades of red on marigold, rather than flat
marigold

11. 2-yr-old Cyrtanthus breviflorus bulbs, grown from seed I collected near
Semonkong in Lesotho

Thank you, Mary Sue and Ellen !!

Best wishes,
Dell
