From Alberto Castillo (in the Southern Hemisphere): (W = winter-growing; S =
summer-growing; SE = summer-growing, evergreen)
1. Hymenocallis maximilianii seeds. Just harvested. Most germinated. (S)
2. Tropaeolum pentaphyllum seeds. Fresh. Should be sown at once although
they will germinate in due course. (W)
3. Zephyranthes primulina seeds. Just harvested. (S)
4. Allium canadense, umbel bulbils. A superb selected form in which they
look lacquered, a nice maroon. (W)
5. Gladiolus illyricus seeds, not many. Just harvested. (W)
6. Cooperia morrisclintii seeds, a few. Just harvested. (S)
7. Sparaxis bulbifera seeds. Fresh. (W)
8. Ornithogalum longibracteatum (caudatum) seed. Just harvested, from wild
collected plants. (SE)
9. Albuca nelsoni seed. Fresh, from wild collected parents. (SE)
10. Albuca juncifolia bulbs, just ending dormancy, it is self fertile and
produces good seed, therefore one can make it with a single bulb (W)
11. Ferraria uncinata corms, just finishing dormancy (i. e. ready to sprout)
(W)
Thank you, Alberto !!
