From David Ehrlich:
1. Propagules from Neomarica northiana
SEED:
2. Freesia laxa (red-on-red). Careful – this plant will thrust its seed
into your other pots. But, it is pretty, and hardy for me in N. California.
3. Herbertia lahue seed parents from various sources
4. Cypella herbertii from seed contributed by Alberto Castillo. These
plants have not only produced prodigious quantities of seed, but they have
been in constant bloom since May – 3 new blossoms opened this morning, and
new growth is just starting for next season.
5. Tigridia pavonia (mixed red and yellow)
6. Aristea ecklonii Like the Cypella, this plant is in bloom most of
the season – from early spring through much of autumn. It’s prettiest in
spring when it’s totally covered with blue blossoms, but a spike of bright
blue is no less welcome in late September.
From Jim Waddick:
7. Crinum bulbispermum 'Jumbo' seedlings. This is surely the best of the
hardiest Crinum. It does not offset, but is easy from seed. I find myself
with a number of extras that range from first year to within a year of
blooming size. Flowers may be anything from pure white to deep pink as these
are a mix from various parents and hybrids. If you consider yourself too
cold for Crinum, consider these are all from plants that have grown for many
years in the Kansas City, MO Metro area and experience both hot and cold
temperature extremes. Coming this time of year, I'd suggest gardeners north
of Zone 7 should pot these up and protect from freezing solid. Those in
Zone 7 and south can plant these out right away, water well and smile.
From Jerry Lehmann:
8. Bulbs of Oxalis violacea
9. Bulbs of Allium sp? (A. canadense or A. stellatum)
10 Bulbs of Nothoscordum bivalve
From Peter den Bakker:
11. Seed of Habranthus tubispathus
12. Seed of Haemanthus namaquensis
From Mark Mazer: (SEED)
13. Babiana vanzyliae
14. Babiana tubulosa
15. Massonia pustulata
16. Moraea trita/stricta?
17. Nothoscordum ostenii
18. Lachenalia aloides var quadricolor
19. Lachenalia comptonii
20. Lachenalia kliprandensis
Thank you David, Jim, Jerry, Peter, and Mark !!
Best wishes,
Dell
