Greetings all, I'd like to highlight the first item listed from my donations: Chlorogalum pupureum var reductum. This is a delightful and exceedingly rare California native. A diminutive relative of the familiar and quasi-ubiquitous Soap Plant, this tiny taxon grows no more than 6 inches wide with bloom stems less than 10 inches. As the species name suggests the flowers are a beautiful, blue-based purple and open during the day. These bulbs are just shy of blooming size. They grow natively in rare soil deposit near Paso Robles which is a reddish, hard clay. Winter growing with a very hot, dry summer dormancy. I sent these is good numbers so you should be able to get some! -|<ipp ________________________________ From: pbs <pbs-bounces@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> on behalf of Bridget Wosczyna via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2024 7:16 PM To: pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Cc: Bridget Wosczyna <bulbexpbs@gmail.com> Subject: [pbs] US BX 498 OPEN UNTIL TUESDAY OCTOBER 15, 9 pm PST All: Please read this post in its entirety prior to ordering so we will have no confusion and your boxes can get out to you quickly. It will make my job a bit easier. This is another large BX. **This BX will be open for orders until Tuesday, October 15 at 9:00 p.m. PST** Standard rules apply for this BX: Kindly review the list below and email me with your request(s) at *bulbexpbs@gmail.com* <bulbexpbs@gmail.com>. I will send a simple acknowledgement of your email. Should you not have a response from me within a day or so, please resend. *Be sure to include your full name and current address and PLEASE advise if you have moved recently so I may note.* Bulbs are $3 each. Many of these are only one share and in short supply. *Again: some of the donors have sent me only one share of some things. I would like to temper expectations*. This will be a lottery (however, if you did not receive something you were especially keen on last round, kindly advise and I will try to assure some accommodation. Also, if there is something you really are looking to receive, it helps for me to know this as well.) You must be current in your membership and you must be up-to-date on BX/SX charges. If you are uncertain, feel free to check with Jane McGary or Arnold Trachtenberg. KINDLY NOTE: Orders should be paid upon receipt through the PBS website at: *https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com//… <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com//…<https://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbsforum/index.php/…>> Please be sure to reference the BX number above (498) when paying as this helps us with accounting. *You are still free to send payment via check if that is your preference.* No orders to anywhere but the US and (sometimes) Canada can be entertained at this point.
