Dear Jane,

The plant I offered seeds for is not the weedy Nothoscordum that I 
have gotten from various seed exchanges under the wrong name and 
destroyed. The seed came from Harry Hay and a lot of his material 
came from Flores and Watson. I haven't put it in the garden, but have 
kept it in a container just to be safe. It doesn't really look like 
Dennis' pictures of Nothoscordum bivalve. I'd really like to know what it is.
