Dear Bulb lovers
For reasons unclear to me ( well, they have nice flowers) I have
started to measure total amount of nuclear DNA content in
Erythroniums G Dunlop of Ireland of Ballyogar nursery has a nice
collection and has provided me with a fair range. Having started
with it I want to finish it. Those that are missing are : Erythronium
grandiflorum, klamathense, mesochoreum, pluriflorum, propullans,
purpurascens, pusaterii, rostratum, quinaultense, taylori and
maybe a few others. I will be most gratefull for anybody who can
supply me with a single fresh leaf of any of the above. Thanks
PS I am also looking for a tetraploid Trillium ( T rhombifolium?)
