From Cathy Craig:
BULBS:
1. Brunsvigia josephinae, ex-Charles Hardman. Most of these must be close
to blooming size. They were growing in sharp sand and silica sand in the
bottom half of the pot, with some Super soil and crushed granite in the top
half of the pot. All are well-rooted and in perfect condition as far as I
can tell. They were planted with top of bulb about an inch or two below soil
line. Probably all same clone, but not positive.
2. Crinum from Taiwan, ex-Dwain Hicks. All well-rooted.
3. med-small Lycoris radiata, ex-Rodney Barton.
4. Narcissus, 'King Alfred' (or type).
5. Narcissus 'Elvira' (7y-w). These are from Dave Karn, the
famous miniature daffodil hybridizer, in Oregon. Very good increaser.
Should bloom next year.
6. Narcissus 'Spoirot' (10w-w). These also from Dave Karn.
Excellent increaser. Should bloom next year.
7. Narcissus 'Falconet' (8y-o). Also from Dave Karn. Good
increaser. Should bloom next year.
From Carolyn Craft:
Crinum bulbs: Each bulb has pink or white written on the trunk. They are a
pass-over the fence variety. Both were given to me by people who had no
idea what they were. Both pink and white are wide petaled and grow around 3
feet tall eventually forming large clumps with huge bulbs. The bulbs I sent
were small, and more affordable to mail, not the grapefruit to cantaloupe
size.
8. White
9. Pink
Thank you, Cathy and Carolyn !!
Best wishes,
Dell
