Australian Native Bulbs

I just got seeds of some southwestern Australian irids from the previous
BX. The plants origins aren't always described in the BX listings, so I
always consult Google. Maybe, just maybe these Australian irids will be
hardy here.

Hi PBS,
I'd like to know if any of you has a list of native Australian geophytes
and
would like for you to share it with me (and all of us). I'm involved with
Boyce
Thompson Arboretum in Superior, AZ and we have a nice Australian exhibit
that
we'd like to augment with accent bulbs, rhizomes, etc., providing, of
course, we
can find the plant material.
Distribution information would be most helpful if available, including
species
endemic to surrounding islands. Perusing the wiki and other resources, I'm
finding there are but a few species that would succeed in our habitat.
However,
I'm hoping there are others currently unknown to me that might.
Plant sources would also be appreciated.
Thank you for your help.
