From Bonaventure Magrys:
1. Small tubers of Amorphophallus konjac
2. Small tubers of Amorphophallus albus
From Arnold Trachtenberg:
3. Bulbs of Scilla (Hyacinthoides) hispanica
From Jim Waddick:
4. Seed of Crinum macowanii, (few) Easy and very attractive. The large pale
pink flowers open wide and last a couple of days. Not sure of the hardiness
as they are from a pot-grown plant in zone 5/6

5. Seed of Tulipa clusiana 'Lady Jane', This is a small to medium form of
the beautiful T. clusiana. It is close to the type, but probably easier to
grow. Flowers open wide after a day and hide the pink outside color. It has
proven easy and vigorous in zone 5/6. Seed should bloom in 3 to 5 years
depending on circumstance.

center, dark veins, dark ctr ring.
10. Oxalis obtusa MV 7085 Deep coppery-pink, yellow throat
11. Oxalis palmifrons -grown for the leaves, mine have never flowered, but
the leaves I like, supposedly has a better chance of blooming if planted
deeply
12. Oxalis polyphylla var heptaphylla MV6396 Vanrhynsdorp. Succulent
thread-like leaves. Winter growing, blooms fall
13. Oxalis purpurea (white) winter growing, long blooming, but beware of
planting in the ground in a Mediterranean climate unless you don't care if
it takes over as it expands dramatically, a lot.

hoping to finally get some blooms
15. Oxalis versicolor --lovely white with candy stripe on back, winter
blooming
15. Oxalis zeekoevleyensis blooms early fall, lavender flowers, sometimes
flowers as early as August
17. Tulipa clusiana - small bulblets of true red and white version
18. Tulipa turkestanica - may not be blooming size, but in my climate seems
to divide more than bloom, sadly
Thank you, Bonaventure, Arnold, Jim, and Mary Sue !!
Best wishes,
