From Fred Biasella:
1.Hippeastrum bulblets 1½ years old and grown from seed. These are from a
friend’s house in Florida and are most likely a hybrid. The flowers are red
with a white star and look a lot like x johnsonii.
2. Seed of Habranthus hybrid. The flowers are a nice pink/light purple color
and grow to about 8” to 10” in height.
From Jim Waddick:
3. Rhizomes “in the green” of "Neomarica caerulea 'Regina' "Blue Walking
Iris" It's blue, it's beautiful, and its blooming cycle goes on for
many months. This "Walking Iris" thrives under varying light conditions and
continues to throw out flowers from its blooming spurs from late winter to
summer. Vigor and ease of growth put this Neomarica in a class of its own as
an exceptional indoor container plant." We discussed this species and others
at some length last June and there's a new wiki page at
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
My plant has filled a 10 gallon nursery pot and has foliage going on 3 ft
tall.
From Arnold Trachtenberg:
4. Tubers of Arum palaestinum
From Judy Glattstein:
5. Bulbs of mixed oxalis: “Lucky Dip” including terracotta pink, lilac
maybe yellow and white
Thank you, Fred, Jim, Arnold, and Judy !!
Best wishes,
