From Mary Sue Ittner:
BULBLETS/CORMLETS:
11. Crocus ochroleucus -- originally purchased from Jane McGary. This one
makes a lot of small bulblets, at least for me and that's what these are. It
is white with a yellow center, late fall bloomer in California
12. Freesia fergusoniae -- just a few cormlets, could be a hybrid with
Freesia alba, white with yellow markings

13. Freesia refracta -- just a few cormlets, smaller white flowers

14. Geissorhiza/Hesperantha unknowns -- These are descendents of seed or
little cormlets that broke off and found their way into another pot. I
expect they are blooming size and most likely Geissorhiza inaequalis,
Geissorhiza heterostyla, but they could be Hesperantha bachmannii or another
Hesperantha.
15. Lachenalia aloides -- originally obtained potted in peatmoss from Trader
Joes before I rescued it. I think this looks like the form called
'Pearsonii'http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/…

16. Sparaxis -- hybrid grown from seed that offsets a lot, red-orange with
yellow center

17. Oxalis obtusa -- various colors. These are ones that ended up in other
pots. I tried to keep the same ones together when I packaged them so that
when Dell distributes them they will be the same color.
17A: pink
17B: pale orange
17C: color?
17D: color?
17E: color?
