From Tsuh Yang Chen:
1. Seed of Sinningia bulbosa
2. Seed of Tacca chantrieri
From Arnold Trachtenberg:
3. Hippeastrum unknown, "I was asked by friend to unpot a mass of
amaryllis bulbs that had been in the same pot for 35 to 40 years. I
potted the large ones and gave them back to the friend and the rest I am
sending in to the BX. I saw the flower earlier in the year and it is
red with thin petals."
From Joyce Miller:
4. Tubers of Sinningia tubiflora, "None has sprouted, but they are ready
with a little moisture
and heat. The books say they like bottom heat but I am insure that is
necessary. They are the progeny of a tuber from Telos Rare Plants, 1999."
From Rob Hamilton:
5. Seed of Dahlia coccinea, "It should be a good time to sown in your
hemisphere. My plants came from a donation of seed by Uli a several
years
ago. It has a lovely red single flower from early summer to late
autumn here. My plants grow to about 1.2m a little short of
the 1.8m in its native Mexico. The slender canes are very strong
and stand up well to the strong wind we get at times. This year I
have self sown seedlings appearing here and there in a
non-invasive way."
From Dell Sherk:
6. Seed of Hippeastrum 'Lemon Lime' x H. 'Jewel', pollen dabbing results of
the small, fragrant semi-double white with a red throat (Jewel) on to the
yellow green Lemon Lime'
From Chuck Schwartz:
7. Seed of Sprekelia formosissima x Hippeastrum papilio
8. Seed of Tulbaghia galpinii
9. Seed of Romulea flava
10. Seed of Cyrtanthus brachyscyphus
11. Seed of Gladiolus tristis
