IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM ME, TRY AGAIN !! >From Mary Sue Ittner: BULBS: 1. Oxalis bowiei This made the favorite pink category of a couple of us. This is a fall blooming, tall, big gorgeous plant. 2. Oxalis callosa Another favorite of mine, ex Telos, pink with a red ring. Fall blooming. 3. Oxalis commutata -South Africa, winter growing, fall blooming, tiny succulent leaves and lavender-pink flowers with a strong scent like talcum powder. 4. Oxalis engleriana -South African, fall blooming, linear leaves 5. Oxalis flava yellow, winter growing, fall blooming 6. Oxalis flava (lupinifolia) -- lupine like leaves and pink flowers, fall blooming 7. Oxalis flava (pink) -- leaves low to ground, attractive, last year some of the flowers were also yellow (along with the pink) 8. Oxalis flava (yellow, obtained by the wrong name, Oxalis namaquana, but really flava) 9. Oxalis gracilis- received from Uli as O. karooica, interesting leaves, not as many blooms as I'd like, but the color of the flowers is nice 10. Oxalis livida - fall blooming (if it blooms), narrow divided leaves 11. Oxalis luteola MV 5567 60km s of Clanwilliam. 1.25" lt yellow flrs, darker ctr. This one has been very reliable for me in Northern California 12. Oxalis melanosticta 'Ken Aslet' -- has bloomed for me two years in a row in a very large pot, but mainly grown for its hairy soft leaves 13. Oxalis Metallic Pink -- received from Bill Baird, yet to bloom, seems like the pink is on the back of the leaves 14. Oxalis MV4674 not sure what species this one is. Collected by Michael Vassar as 16km north into Sweekspoort, South Africa, was described by him as a tiny tufted plant with tiny leaves. It has pink flowers and blooms in the fall. >From Pam Slate: BULBS: 15. Zephyranthes labufarosea (Note from Dell: while researching to determine the correct spelling of this one, I found that the late Thad Howard said this is a natural bigeneric hybrid of Cooperia and Zephyranthes and should be named "x Cooperanthes "Labufaroseus") 16. Zephyranthes 'Prairie Sunset' 17. Zephyranthes candida >From Gary Meltzer: 18. Seed of Gloriosa superba >From PBS: SEEDS: 19. Gethyllis grandiflora 20. Clivia nobilis 21. Haemanthus coccineus Thank you, Mary Sue, Pam, and Gary !! Best wishes, Dell Dell Sherk, PBS BX
