From Jim Waddick:

PLANTS:

Ledebouria previously known as Scilla. Members of the Hyacinthaceae from S.
Africa. These bloom in summer. All are grown with bulbs above the soil
level. Tender. See:

http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…

or

http://http/:www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbslist/…

1. Ledebouria socialis, This is a common succulent/bulbous plant with
spotted green on green leaves. A small size window sill indoor plant or
ground cover where hardy.

2. L. socialis violacea, This is the violet colored form. The red-purple
undersides of the leaves are very ornamental. Otherwise as above.

3. L. pauciflora is a smaller species with broadly oval foliage. Small and
cute. Some of these plants originated from a BX donation of Roy Herold.

From Joyce Miller:

4. Small tubers of Cyclamen sp?, definitely not C. coum or C. hederifolium

From Mary Sue Ittner: (BULBLETS)

(all are winter growers)

5. Brodiaea filifolia cormlets- few- this is a vernal pool species that
flowers for me in summer IF I remember to keep watering it long enough

6. Brodiaea purdyi cormlets

7. Cyrtanthus elatus x C. montanus bulblets

8. Ferraria crispa

9. Geissorhiza inaequalis (probably, but could be other things that look the
same) - this one may do a bit too well for me as it appears here and there,
but isn't in any danger of taking over anything. For one thing the corms are
very small and the cormlets even smaller

10. Lachenalia alba

11. Lachenalia haarlemensis

12. Lachenalia pustulata

13. Lachenalia unicolor

14. Moraea vegeta - supposed to be another species, but I think this is
correct. This is a brown low growing flower, but it does fine in the ground
with little care in an open spot

15. Oxalis brasilensis Oxalis hirta

16. Polyxena longituba - fall blooming, not a large flower, but soon
increases to be a large pot full of flowers

17. Tritonia sp. cormlets

18. Winter growing mix of unidentified bulbs - a grab bag!

From Mike Mace: (BULBS)

19. Nerine 'Kenilworth'

20. Oxalis callosa

21. Oxalis convexula

22. Oxalis glabra

Oxalis selections from the late Michael Vassar. All are winter-growing.

23. Oxalis MV 4621a - lavender
24. Oxalis MV 4674
25. Oxalis MV 4871

Thank you, Jim, Joyce, Mary Sue, and Mike !!

Best wishes,
Dell
