I am after the Native jonquil - Proiphys cunninghamii (also called the Brisbane Lily) - I have looked for bulbs/seed on the net and have been unable to find anything. Does anybody have this plant and hopefully some upcoming seed?

Sorry, no; you can propagate them only from seed or from portions of the root with growing points. The flower stems are annual and will not produce roots. The cutflower strains of Alstroemeria may be available as potted plants in spring at some garden centers.

Seed of Scadoxus membranaceus from Doug Westfall. Please let me know PRIVATELY if you would like some. I will include it in the packages of those who have already ordered from BX 84.

But I admit that I have never heard of Altroemeria (or most other monocots) being propagated in this way. Perhaps we should give it a try. John Grimshaw Dr John M.

Grimshaw >Garden Manager, Colesbourne Gardens > >Sycamore Cottage >Colesbourne >Nr Cheltenham >Gloucestershire GL53 9NP John: It's been given a try, probably much more than once, because there is a paper reporting success with alstroemeria stem cuttings published by Halevy and someone else in Scientiaq Horticulturae (I think that was the journal). It is unfortunately an erroneous result with no follow-up correction by the authors. FWIW: When I first attempted propagating alstroemeria some years ago I tried using every kind of tissue offered; rhizome pieces, the tips and those containing axillary buds, were the only ones that continued growing and reproduced the entire plant.

Using Google to try and find the exact reference to propagating alstroemeria from stem cuttings, the closest I've come is the following, Ziv M, Kanterovitz R, Halevy AH (1973) Vegetative propagation of Alstroemeria in vitro . Sci Hortic ... I'll attempt to find the paper and report the data.
