OFFERINGS: Pacific BX 10 SEED: From Robert Parker: 1. Iris spuria Eleanor McCown's 'Imperial Bronze' 2. Iris spuria mixed: white, yellow, viloet blue 3. Iris spuria 'Tiger Blues' From Cathy Craig: 4. Habranthus robustus 5. Habranthus biflorus From Dell Sherk: 6. Zephyranthes 'Fadjar's Red" , red-flushed yellow, open-pollinated 7. Zephyranthes reginae, light yellow, exterior slightly flushed copper, op BULBS: From Mark Wilcox: 8. Crocosmia 'Lucifer' From Joyce Miller: 9. Ferraria uncinata From Mary Sue Ittner <msittner@mcn.org>: 10. Ipheion uniflorum (white) 11. Ferraria crispa 12. Calochortus vestae (white)--These are not blooming sized bulbs I don't think, but with good water and fertilizer during their period of growth they will soon be. 13. Moraea aristata--These bloom reliably for me, in raised beds, in the ground, and in containers. But my garden is relatively dry in summer. 14. Babiana (mixed species)--I got seed of mixed species maybe 15 years ago and these are descendents. I have them planted in a very deep wooden planter on my deck and every three years or so I replant them and this is one of those years. They are mixed and there is no way to tell which is which, but there are some nice ones and they don't all bloom at once. Also I have found they can be easily grown directly in the ground in Zone 9 at least. There are quite a few of these so a lot to go around. 15. Moraea (mixed species)--I dug out a raised bed that had not been dug out for 12 years. There were many hundreds of Moraeas in this bed. Trying as hard as I could from looking at pictures in my Moraea book and reading the descriptions I cannot tell you which these might be. They could be Moraea aristata, M. gigandra, M. bellendenii, M. tricuspidata, M. loubseri, M. polystachya to name a few of the residents of that bed. Also there are a lot of these so hopefully a lot of you will request them and have fun trying to determine what they are. I hope I kept at least some of all of those I mentioned, but I won't know either until they bloom. Thank you, Robert, Cathy, Mark, Joyce, and Mary Sue !! Best wishes, Dell --Dell Sherk, Director, Pacific BX
