From Jim Waddick: 1. Lilium lancifolium 'Flore Pleno' This blooms slightly later than the typical 'Tiger Lily'. Flowers are described as interesting to hideous. First bloom may be less than attractive, but as the plants settle in they produce fairly uniform hose-in-hose double flowers. They just never have the 'neat' quality of typical flowers. The plants form stem bulbils which will each produce a new lily plant in time. They do not produce fertile seed. Bulbils are naturally small. These are a blend of two strains from India and Seneca Hill Nursery. They seem identical in all characters. 2. Dioscorea oppositifolia 'Variegata' stem bulbils. This Air Potato or Cinnamon Vine is classed as an invasive plant in some parts of the US. Here it is a hardy, vigorous vine that does not get out of hand. The original plant had leaves well striped and streaked with white and very attractive. Subsequent growth is uneven with bulbils producing all green as well as variegated stems. These were taken ONLY from stems with variegated leaves. WARNING that these have weedy potential in some climates milder than Kansas City. 3. Cryptostephanus vansonii seeds (Few available). This is considered by many as the closest relative to the genus Clivia. The plant looks like a miniature Clivia with a head of numerous, small white (typically) flowers. Culture as for Clivia. Seeds have germinated well in the past. Fruits take a year to ripen so these were harvested from a plant now in bloom again. Fruits are about the size of a small cherry and mature to a pale red -orange color. The soft pulp is bright yellow and bland to the tongue. Each fruit has 1 to 3 seeds although more are possible. For more info on this species and the genus see Harold Koopowitz book on 'Clivias'. Highly recommended. A collector's items as flowers are not comparable to Clivia, but pleasing. From Ryan Wilson: 4. Seed of Scilla peruviana (few) 5. Seed of Camassia leichtlinii 'Sacagawea' OP. This cultivar has variegated foliage. From Roy Herold: BULBS 6. Oxalis glabra 7. Oxalis hirta 'Gothenburg' ex Odyssey 8.

Oxalis massonorum (not massoniana) ex Vanderhoff 12. Oxalis 'namaquensis' ex Mattus 13. Oxalis obtusa MV5516 14. Oxalis obtusa MV4719D 15. Oxalis obtusa Peach ex BX179-35 16. Oxalis obtusa MSI17B Pale orange ex BX175 17. Oxalis obtusa MSI17C ex BX175 18. Oxalis obtusa MSI17D ex BX175 19. Oxalis obtusa MSI17E ex BX175 20. Oxalis obtusa MV6235--without a doubt the most floriferous obtusa that I grow. Blooms all winter. 21. Oxalis obtusa MV6341 22. Oxalis obtusa MV7085 23. Oxalis sp 'Uli 69' ex BX152 24.
