Sprekelia species
J.E. Shields (Mon, 16 Feb 2004 07:39:01 PST)

Dear all,

I am looking for bulbs or seeds of the various Sprekelia "species" for
breeding experiments. these are things I sdtarted 25 years ago and
lost. I want to rebuild my Sprekelia germplasm collection and do some new
breeding.

I have S. formosissima 'Orient Red' (a.k.a. 'Harrison's Orientred') and a
very few offsets of S. howardii as well as Haemanthus, Scadoxus,
Hippeastrum, Crinum, Nerine, etc. species to offer in trade. Or I will
purchase.

I am looking especially for bulbs of Sprekelia 'Peru' , S. glauca, and some
of the early Thad Howard hybrids or selections from S. formosissima.

Wild collected seeds from Sprekelia formosissima would be of great interest
also.

Please contact me off-list at <jshields@indy.net> or telephone 317-896-3925
(home).
