From Jim Waddick:
18. Crinum bulbispermum 'Jumbo' seeds. This was
originated from the late Crinum expert Les Hannibal and distributed
by Marcelle Sheppard. This species does not pup a lot, so must be
grown from seed for practical purposes. Totally hardy here in Kansas City
Zone 5/6. Flowers open well
in shades of light to dark pink. recommended and easy.
19. Seeds of Fritillaria persica. This is a tall clone with rich
purple/brown flowers. Does not pup freely here, but quite hardy in
Kansas City.
20. Seed of Camassia 'Sacajewea'. Flowers creamy white, foliage white
thin white edges. Of 3 or 4 species grown, only this one has made
seed. A good size plant may be a form of C. leichtlinii.

veritable weed here in North Texas.
