Mary Sue, whose seed donations are offered in BX 12 sends this information about those seeds: Allium jajlae--Tight umbel, purple flower, blooms summer Calochortus uniflorus--I collected seed from one of my plants that has small dark purple spots on the pale blue flowers. One of our local populations has nice markings and I collected seed from them a number of years ago and got some interesting variation. I would hope that seedlings would also have the spots. Delphiniums--Alberto is going to scold me, but I am giving seed of some of my native California Delphiniums. They are a quasi geophyte as most of them have a woody rootstock, but they can be treated like geophytes and kept moderately dry in summer when they are dormant. I know Marguerite wanted some seed so have sent some to Dell. I try to keep my species separated, but can't promise they are pure. Delphinium hesperium--purple, seed collected in Marin county Delphinium nudicaule--red, one of the delightful spring wildflowers where I live, found on rock crevices on steep mossy banks, often shaded Delphinium luteum--yellow, short, extremely rare, found in only a few locations from coastal bluffs near Bodega Bay, California. These are descendents from California Horticultural Society seed Gelasine elongata--Alberto told us about this one recently Lachenalia pustulata--South African Lachenalia unicolor--These were grown from misnamed seed, but I am reasonably sure this is correct. There was a nice variation in the color of the flowers, blooming in April and May, South African Lilium maritimum--This is wild collected seed from our local populations. This lily has small tubular red flowers and is considered rare. It is found in wet places, and blooms better in wet years and is found close to the forest. Romulea tetragona--violet rose with interesting markings, South African irid Sparaxis metelerkampiae--This is one of the prettier species of what was once Synnotia, South African irid Tritonia deusta--South African irid Tritonia securigera--South African irid Tulipa clusiana--I was able to get bulbs of the real thing when I visited Lauw in France a few years ago. Before that I had ordered bulbs and never got the real species. It is really lovely and supposed to be one of the Tulips you can naturalize in Southern California. Zigadenus fremontii--This is another plant that grows in the wild close to where I live in coastal northern California. This one is tall with white flowers and is supposed to be poisonous so the critters aren't supposed to eat it. Thank you, Mary Sue! --Dell Sherk, Director, Pacific BX
