Schizobasis intricata

Dear Roy, and all.
Coincidence indeed. A shared obsession. Please collect a few
seeds for the SeedEx , seedling bulbs or other.

And my address is always given at the end of my emails (hint).

A web search indicated 5 species*, but not much detail on
most. Seems like S. intricata is the most commonly seen. Same with
Boweia- a number of species, but B. volubilis the most common.

I was surprised to see a range of 'bulbous' plants appear in
the succulent sections including Gethyllis, Scilla, Begonia and quite
a few others. Hard to quite make a distinction when cauduciform
plants are grown so that underground parts that are 'normally' hidden
are exposed and appear bulbous.

Thanks to all. Jim W.
