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 for your order. This is a charge to defray
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

their donations.
From Mary Sue Ittner:
Bulbs:
1. Moraea sp. These could be M. aristata, M. tripetala, or M. bellendenii.
They all were in a bed that I am redoing and I can't tell which is which.
Winter growers from South Africa, lots
2. Oxalis depressa MV 4871--2km inland from mouth of Kleinie Braak River;
1.25" white flowers, wide overlapping petals, large leaves, dull purple
beneath, winter growing, blooms late fall, early winter for me
3. Oxalis MV 5630A, lavender pink flowers, Vanrhynshoek, fall blooming,
winter
growing, found in dark red heavy soil
4. Oxalis luteola MV5667 1.5" brt yellow flowers, 13 km s of Nieuwodtville.
Winter growing. This species has never bloomed for me in the time that I
had it, but maybe would do better in another climate--Winter grower

passing it on. Winter growing
6. Oxalis obtusa MV 5051--2 " lt. copper-orange, darker veining, yellow
