From Mary Sue Ittner:
Bulbs/Corms:
5. Allium campanulatum -- California native
6. Calochortus uniflorus bulblets-- unmarked
7. Calochortus uniflorus bulblets-- spots
8. Dichelostemma ida-maia -
9. Freesia alba -- I think, these I dug up from my garden and that is what I
have in abundance, very fragrant, has naturalized in my northern California
coastal garden, but also nice in a container
10. Geissorhiza inaequalis -- increases rapidly in my Northern California
garden and has tiny cormlets around main that break off, but stands up to
our rain and blooms reliably-- new pictures on the wiki of it blooming in
mass in Nieuwoudtville in the reserve
11. Watsonia alectroides - few
12. Triteleia hyacinthina - I think
Seed shared from Alan Horstmann:
13. Daubenya alba -- from Totuin and Middelpos
14. Daubenya stylosa -- from Nieuwoudtville
15. Lachenalia alba -- from Nieuwoudtville
16. Lachenalia mutabilis --from Clanwilliam
17. Lachenalia seed purchased from the Ramskop garden at Clanwilliam (South
Africa): mixed species, we saw L. unifolia and L. unicolor, L. violacea in
bloom there, don't know what other species they might have, has germinated
well
18. Lapeirousia anceps
From my garden:
Winter growing:
19. Brodiaea californica-- seed from a pink form, but open pollinated
20. Brodiaea sp. -- sorry, but I didn't mark this seed, the pods look like
Brodiaea pods, but the seed is smaller than B. californica. I also grow B.
c. ssp leptandra which is smaller, B. elegans, B. pallida, and B. purdyi so
could be one of those
21. Delphinium nudicaule - seed collected from orangy red form, but open
pollinated so could be hybrid
22. Delphinium nudicaule - seed collected from dark purple red more robust
form, but open pollinated so could be hybrid
23. Geissorhiza leopoldtii
24. Geissorhiza radians
25. Geissorhiza splendidissima
26. Lilium sp. -- This is a California species, but I forgot to mark my
seeds.
I think it is L. humboldtii, but could be L. pardalinum or L. kelloggii or
hybrid of some of these since they all three bloomed in June
27. Massonia pustulata -- nice form
28. Nerine sarniensis hybrid seed from my Zinkowski plants-- bright red
29. Nerine sarniensis hybrid seed from my Zinkowski plants-- kind of a
strange colored form, purple? only a few seeds
30. Romulea bulbocodium -- from Jane's plants labeled nivalis
31. Triteleia bridgesii
32. Triteleia dudleyi - limited amount
33. Triteleia ixioides -- late blooming, nice bright yellow
34. Watsonia coccinea -- lower growing species, nice red flowers, does not
expand rapidly, in fact some years doesn't even come up
Summer growing:
35. Calydorea amabilis -- blooms for months if dead headed the day after it
blooms, but short lived flowers
36. Gelasine elongata-- seems to be growing fine in my garden in spite of
being a summer grower. Flowers are a pretty blue, but don't last a day
37. Nerine angustifolia -- already sprouting, I give year round water in
pot, but less in winter
38. Nerine platypetala -- already sprouting, I give year round water in pot,
but less in winter
39. Sandersonia aurantiaca -- tricky from seed
40. Calochortus nitidus
