seeds to swap

Doug and all,

My clone has the wider leaves, almost round sometimes. It came from
someone's garden in Pasadena, California, many years back.

I got some seed of H. albiflos from Silverhill Seeds a few years
ago. These are all seedlings now, and they have a variety of leaf forms,
but all tending to be narrower than this clone has. None of the Silverhill
seedlings are quite up to bloom size just yet.

Jim,

There are several clones of this Haemanthus. What does yours look like?

I have two clones. One has long, narrow leaves. The other has shorter, 3 to
4 inch wide leaves.

I have 2 or 3 dozen seeds of the latter one if anyone is interested.
