From Kathleen Sayce:
17. Colchicum autumnale bulbs have spread vigorously and are mostly pretty
large, pink flowering, typical of the species. They were originally
purchased from either a local nursery, on a rack, or ordered from a bulb
grower.
18. Hyacinthoides xmassartina bulbs are from plantings done 50-100 years ago
in my yard. There are also seeds. Colors are blue, pink and white, mixed.
19. Ixia 'Garden Gems' bulbs are white flowered, from a rack, mixed sizes.
Can't tell you the species. They were sold to me as Ixia 'Garden Gems" or
Cornlily Garden Gems.
Thank you, Jim, Mary Sue, Lynn, Matt, and Kathleen !!
