Dear All,

The items listed below have been donated by people from all over the
world, to be shared. If you are interested in obtaining some of them,

email me PRIVATELY at <dells@voicenet.com>. Include "BX 74" in the subject
line. Specify the NUMBERS of the items which you would like; do not

quantities. It is a good idea to include your snail mail address too, in
case I don't already have it. Availability is based on a first come,

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 to defray our costs for packing and first-class postage.
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
offers such as this. Go to our website: <http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/> . Or
contact me at dells@voicenet.com
If you would like to donate seeds or bulbs/corms to the PBS, please

CLEAN, clearly labeled material to: Dell Sherk, PO Box 224, Holicong, PA,
18928, USA. Donors will receive credit on the BX for the cost of postage

their donations.

PLEASE NOTE: I WILL REPLY TO YOU WITHIN 24 HRS OF MY RECEIPT OF YOUR
ORDER..
IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM ME, TRY AGAIN !!

1. Seed of Anthericum sp.?
"My plant came from Panayoti Keladis of the Denver Botanic
Garden. It has grown well here in a raised bed and now the plant,
although small, puts on quite a show. Flower spikes are about 2 ft
long and has 10 or more main branches which in turn branch again.
Each smallest branch can have 20 or more small, white, star-shaped
flowers. Although each flower is short lived, with ten flower stalks
and upwards of 200 flowers per stalk it is an impressive sight. As
for ID since the genus has some 50 or so very similar species, I can
only say it is NOT either of the common species A. liliago or A
ramosum.
Only vaguely a geophyte, it has a similar annual cycle and
disappears underground during winter. Foliage is long and narrow
reminiscent of a very smaller Hemerocallis or semi-succulent grass
clump."
