From Mary Sue Ittner; All winter growing
Bulbs:
1. Crocus pulchellus MT 4582 cormlets -- originally from Jane McGary BX
2. Ferraria crispa -- I have found this one to do best planted in the ground
3. Habranthus tubispathus -- from seed labeled Rhodophiala, but I'm pretty
sure this is what it is. This bulb is not happy in my climate so I am
sending it out for others who have hot summers with rainfall
4. Leucocoryne purpurea -- needs period of warmth to bloom properly, long
bloom period
5. Leucocoryne vittata -- needs period of warmth to bloom properly,
spectacular flower, long bloom period
6. Muscari neglectum (small offsets)-- this increases rapidly, but makes up
for it in length of bloom
7. Oxalis bowiei -- needs deep pot to bloom well, fall blooming for me
8. Oxalis engleriana
9. Oxalis hirta -- blooms better for me with deep pot, fall blooming
10. Oxalis hirta 'Gothenburg' -- needs very deep pot, fall blooming
11. Oxalis obtusa ( a number of different ones appearing in other pots, one
yellow, other unknown colors)
12. Oxalis obtusa MV 5051 -- see wiki for description
13. Oxalis purpurea (white) -- increases rampantly in ground, beware in
Mediterranean climate, although it does have a long period of bloom if
planted in a sunny spot
14. Oxalis zeekoevleyensis -- blooms early fall, plant now as I expect it
will be rooting soon
15. Polyxena longituba -- blooms in fall, plant now
16. Tulipa linifolia
17. Lachenalia mutabilis
18. Lachenalia splendida
Thank you, Mary Sue !!
Best wishes,
Dell
