From Gregg De Chirico: 1. Seed of Schizobasis intricata From Nhu Nguyen: 2. Tubers of Oxalis tuberosa (oca) From Ina Crossley: 3. Seeds of Habranthus tubispathus var. texensis 4. Seeds of Habranthus robustus 5. Seeds of Zephyranthes primulina From Fred Biasella: 6. Iris cristata rhizomes - Pretty blue (common) form but boy are they productive. 7. Small Ismene bulbs - The common white but still beautiful and fragrant form. These are from bulbs that I have had for many years. 8. Small bulbs of Zephyranthes robusta (?) (Habranthus robustus) These are a very pretty pink/mauve flower that seem to be quite fertile and produce an abundance of seeds that very readily germinate. These are bulbs that I have grown on from a previous PBS seed offering. 9. Fritillaria raddeana seeds - A number of years ago I acquired 1 bulb of this beautiful plant and last year it produced an enormous seed head. I harvested the seeds last year and held them for this spring. I hope they're fertile but I sent them along anyways. Thank you, Gregg, Nhu, Ina, and Fred !! Best wishes, Dell Dell Sherk, PBS BX
