Dear All,
The items listed below have been donated by PBS list members for
sharing. If you are interested in obtaining some of them, please email me
PRIVATELY at <dells@voicenet.com>. Include "BX 36" in the subject line.
Specify the NUMBERS of the items which you would like; do not specify
quantities. 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 (cash or check) you should send the PBS
treasurer to defray our costs for packing and first-class postage. It is a
good idea to include your snail mail address too, in case I don't already
have it.
Some of you are members of the PBS discussion forum but not members of
the Pacific Bulb Society. THIS BX OFFERING IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO MEMBERS OF
THE PBS. Consider joining the PBS so that you can take advantage of future
offers such as this. Go to our website: http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/ . Or
contact me at dells@voicenet.com
If you would like to donate seeds or bulbs/corms to the PBS, please send
CLEAN, clearly labeled material to: Dell Sherk, PO Box 224, Holicong, PA,
18928, USA. Donors will receive credit on the BX for the cost of postage for
their donations.
From Mary Sue Ittner:
1. Bulblets of Leucoryne purpurea
2. Seed of Ferraria crispa var. nortieri
From Lee Poulsen:
3. Seed of xHippeastralia 'Aztec Amaryllis' X Sprekelia formosissima -
(Pollen parent is Sprekelia that happened to be blooming at the same time.)
4. Seed of xHippeastralia 'Red Star' open pollinated - Nothing else was
blooming at the time (Hipp. or Sprekelia). This looks like a red Hipp
morphed 50-50 with a Sprekelia f.
5. Cormlets of Ferraria uncinata. These are summer dormant.
6. Seed of Tecophilaea cyanocrocus leichtlinii - The form with the large
white center and light sky blue color. For me they grow exactly like Cape
bulbs do. Just a few seeds.
7. Seed of Tecophilaea cyanocrocus violacea - The purple flowered form. Just
a few seeds.
8. Cormlets of Watsonia bulbifera. Small Watsonia, reddish orange flowers.
Summer dormant.
9. Bulbs of Habranthus X - This is what Yucca Do called it, an
unknown hybrid. Can't remember what it looked like.
From Rob Hamilton:
SEED:
10. Albuca shawii (S)
11. Arum purpureospathum (W)
12. Arisaema consanguineum (S)
13. Arisaema amurense (S)
14. Arisaema candidissimum (S)
15. Arisaema ciliatum (S)
16. Arisaema flavum (S)
- the candidissimum and ciliatum parents are on the wiki. The pale
ciliatum was the pollen parent so there will hopefully be a mixture
of types. All except amurense and ciliatum have survived our normal
rainfall during their winter dormancy. They will germinate
immediately in your summer and grow on until it gets cold.
17. Colchicum corsicum (W)
18. Colchicum cupanii (W)
-I havent positively confirmed the identity of my C cupanii
Thank you, Mary Sue, Lee, and Rob !!
Best wishes,
Dell
