From Jim Waddick:
1. Seed of Anthericum sp.? "This seed came from Panayoti Kelaidis of the
Denver Botanic Garden simply as "sp." It has proven hardy here for a number
of years, increased in size, bloomed and set seed annually. A mature plant
has hundreds of small white starry blooms over the course of several weeks."
2. Seed of Manfreda virginiana "This is known as the False Agave for its
agave-like look to the basal rosette of spineless foliage. This rosette is
very handsome and semi-deciduous here (Kansas City, MO), probably more
nearly evergreen in milder climates. In mid summer it produces a six foot
flowering stem with a dozen+ more odd than beautiful flowers followed by
marble size fruits. Mine grow in a sunny spot, with the base protected by
nearby low growing plants. It can also survive in some shade, but blooms
better with more sun. From a S. Illinois collection, hardy outdoors here."
From Lee Poulsen:
3. Seed of Zephyranthes katherinae
4. Seed of Calostemma purpurea
From Linda Foulis:
5. Seed of white Hippeastrum hyb., most likely 'Intokazi'
6. Seed of Bulbine sp. "I thought it was B. glauca, but I've noticed in one
of my photos that there are bearded appendages to the stamens indicating it
may be B. semibarbata. Also, this one is not a bulb!"
From Roy Sachs:
7. Seed of Amaryllis belladonna.
From Dell Sherk:
Seed for these came originally came from Mauro Peixoto.
8. Seedling bulbs of Hippeastrum morelianum x glaucescens (few)
9. Seedling bulbs of various primary hybrid Hippeastrum crosses involving
Hh. striatum, aulicum, morelianum, calyptratum, and other species.
(Careless record keeping on my part.)
Thank you, Jim, Lee, Linda, and Roy !!
Best wishes,
