From Mary Sue Ittner:
BULBS (all winter growing unless noted otherwise):
1. Babiana sp. -- grown from seed many years ago and I've never tried to key
them, consider them hybrids. There are a number of these and they are either
pink or purple (from a mixed batch). Good for growing in the ground in
climates like California, winter growing
2. Babiana villosa -- don't know if red or pink, winter growing
3. Dichelostemma volubile cormlets -- small cormlets so may take a few years
to get to blooming size, this is the twining pink Dichelostemma, winter
growing
4. Freesia refracta -- winter growing
5. Freesia leichtlinii -- grown from Gordon Summerfield seed and he's very
knowledgeable. It looks like alba to me. I struggled with the key in the
Color Encyclopedia and still think it may be alba, winter growing.
6. Gladiolus aurantiacus -- summer growing, not really happy in my climate
so am passing it on
7. Ipheion uniflorum white -- winter growing
8. Lachenalia liliflora -- I think, late blooming one and I lost the tag in
storage -- winter growing
9. Moraea lurida -- I've never had any bloom that were not yellow with
darker markings, no lurid ones
10. Oxalis brasilensis
11. Oxalis incarnata
12. Oxalis luteola MV 5567 -- just a few, one of my favorites, pale yellow,
very reliable in my climate
13. Oxalis obtusa peach
14. Oxalis obtusa pink
15. Spiloxene capensis -- probably white, but could be pink
16. Trieleia laxa 'Queen Fabiola' cormlets
17. Triteleia peduncularis cormlets
SEED:
18. Brodiaea californica (pink I think), winter growing
19. Cyrtanthus epiphyticus -- summer growing, product of a previous BX
20. Geissorhiza heterostyla -- winter growing
21. Gladiolus miniatus -- love this salmon-orange little Glad, winter
growing
22. Nerine krigei -- summer growing and blooming
23. Tritonia securigera -- winter growing
Thank you, Mary Sue !!
Best wishes,
Dell
