SPECIFY THE ITEM NUMBERS. DO NOT SPECIFY QUANTITIES. It is a good idea to include your snail mail address, too, in case I do not 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 you owe (usually $2.00 ? $5.00 per share of seeds or bulbs + postage and packaging charges), and instructions about how to pay. PAYMENT IS DUE AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE YOUR PACKAGE. > > ? ?

Haemanthus albiflos seedings 2 yrs old (FEW) > 9. Haemanthus pauculifolius seeds? (VERY FEW) > >> From Uli Urban: > > 10. Achimenes patens. These are stem bulbils which are much smaller than normal rhizomes and therefore easier to ship. They would benefit from an overnight soak in lukewarm water before planting. The plant itself becomes fairly big, best in a hanging basket. Has a long vegetative period. Large showy purple flowers. > > 11. Arisaema consanguineum 'The Perfect Wave ' and 'Wild Blue Yonder' mixed small tubers. Both are offsets from the original plants, selected by Ellen Hornig. Very beautiful and good performers. Hardy but pot grown with me, performance is better this way. Thanks again to Ellen for sharing these many years ago. > > 12. Arisaema tortuosum, small tubers. Can become very big, mine are seed grown and have flowered and made offsets for the first time last summer. Pot grown and not tested for hardiness. > > 13. Small corms of Gladiolus cruentus. Summer growing but has a long growing cycle and flowers late in the season, sometimes spoiled by bad weather. Multiplies well. > > 14. Gladiolus dalenii 'Boone' a straightforward and easy summer grower. The interesting thing about this form is that it has branching inflorescences. > These are very small bulbils for obvious reasons. Sometimes they do not sprout, this can be overcome by soaking them overnight in lukewarm water with a small amount of dish washing liquid. This helps the water to penetrate the hard shell to break dormancy. > > 15. Sauromatum horsfieldii, a small and charming plant except for its flowers. They do not smell like rotten meat like most of the family does but their smell seems fairly inoffensive first but is very irritating on the long run. The charm is the foliage: dense low (max 25cm) shining velvety green with some patterns. Best in partial shade. Multiplies rapidly so better keep an eye on it. Mine are pot grown and not yet tested for hardiness. > > 16. Sauromatum or Typhonium giganteum: Deep blackish purple spathes before the leaves, I did not notice any offensive smell (no guarantee given). Elegant shiny bright green leaves, arrow shaped appear very late in the season. Not tested for hardiness, full sun. > > 17. Scadoxus multiflorus. Few seeds only. I had a big infructescense but unfortunately was not aware they would germinate inside the berry if left for too long. I had to sow the germinated seeds for myself. Summer growing, easy, big plants with big red flower balls. > > 18. Spathantheum orbignyanum. Summer growing Bolivian Aroid with big tubers. Flowers before the leaves. Strange smell. Lush foliage a little like Acanthus. Many people mistake the flowers for thin leaves, the true flowers are arranged toothbrush like UNDER the spathe and not visible from above. Multiplies well, definitely not hardy. > > 19. Last but not least a few leaf tubers of my lovely blue waterlily? (Nymphaea sp.) I wrote an article for the bulb garden on them so will only say: start them now in 25 deg centigrade warm water with maximum light and plant into a warm pond once the weather in your climate gets warm. > >> From Dell Sherk: > > Bulbs: > > 20.
