From John MacGregor: 1. Seed of Arum italicum 'Marmoratum' -- Seed from clones with strongly contrasting leaf-vein patterns. Some seedlings may mature all-green. I rogue these out. Handsome, long-lasting foliage for arrangements in winter. Spadix of bright orange-red fruits in spring through early summer. Dormant from midsummer to October. 2. Seed of Gladiolus tristis 3. Seed of Habranthus robustus BULBS/CORMS 4. Babiana stricta -- Blooming-size corms in colors ranging from red-violet through blue-violet, many with a dark red eye. 5. Babiana stricta -- Mixed cormels and smaller corms. For patient souls. 6. Chasmanthe floribunda var. duckittii -- Blooming-size corms. Flowers are soft yellow. Gladiolus treatment. Good for cutting. 7. Crocosmia masoniorum -- Chains of blooming-size corms. For bloom next summer, plant the chain intact; in this species the old corm does not shrivel but remains plump and firmly attached, forming a vertical chain, nourishing the new corm and promoting flowering. Corms may be divided to increase stock, but it's not worth the trouble, as it multiplies faster than rabbits. Good cut-flower. 8. Crocosmia masoniorum -- Chains and singletons of smaller corms. Your patience will be rewarded in a year or two. 9. Scilla peruviana -- Mostly blooming-size bulbs. Keep moist and plant immediately; they are forming new roots and starting to sprout! From Stephen Putman: 10. Seeds if Hymenocallis eucharidifolia, ONLY ONE ORDER From Arnold Trachtenberg: 11. Small and medium sized bulbs of mixed Hyacinthus hybrids ("Dutch") - generous quantities!

Seeds of Zephyranthes morrisclintii, few 22. Seed of Zephyranthes traubii Bulbs: 23. Oxalis brasiliensis 24. Oxalis namaquana 25. Oxalis 'Omel' This is a hybrid from Israel. It is a very pretty plant. The flowers are large for the size of the plant and are a rich pink. It makes a nice pot plant, but do not let it loose in the garden unless you have a lot of space to fill. It reproduces like mad. 26. Oxalis purpurea 'Garnet' 27. Oxalis virginea - a compact plant. Slow to reproduce in Sun City Center, FL. Lovely white flower. Likes some shade. Thank you, John, Stephen, Arnold, Patty, Emilie, and Lynn !! Best wishes, Dell Dell Sherk, PBS BX
