Dear All,
The items listed below have been donated by some of our members, to be
shared. If you are interested in obtaining some of them, please email me
PRIVATELY at <ds429@comcast.net>. Include "BX 252" in the subject line.
Specify the NUMBERS of the items which you would like; do not specify
quantities. It is a good idea to include your snail mail address too, in
case I don't already have it. Availability is based on a first come, first
served system. When you receive your seeds/bulbs you will find, included
with them, a statement of how much money (cash, check, or Paypal) you should
send the PBS treasurer to defray our costs for packing and first-class
postage. Some of you are members of the PBS discussion forum but not members
of the Pacific Bulb Society. THIS BX OFFERING IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO MEMBERS
OF THE PBS.

BULBS/CORMS: (They are all winter growing.)
9. Allium amethystinum - tall, Mediterranean species, late spring to summer
blooming

11. Hyacinthoides italica - this is a very charming small species with blue
and purple starry flowers, late winter blooming for me
12. Narcissus bulbocodium var. tenufolius - descendents of bulbs given by
Bill Dijk to another BX
13. Narcissus romieuxii -- early winter blooming
14. Oxalis caprina - fall blooming, purple flowers
15. Oxalis flava lupinifolia - lupine-like leaves and pink flowers, fall
blooming
16. Oxalis obtusa - forgot to note the color
17. Romulea kombergensis- in Northern California this is a reliable early
blooming Romulea

Thank you, Corina, Arnold, and Mary Sue !!
