From Nhu Nguyen:
SEEDS:
OP = open pollinated
1. Nerine bowdenii OP
2. Tigridia pavonia - typical orange form OP with no others of the same
genus around
3. Rhodophiala advena - salmon with a lime-green throat OP with no others of
the same genus around
4. Pasithea caerulea - OP with no others of the same genus around
5. Nerine hybrid - mix of a number of colors
6. Strumaria tenella - cute little things that can bloom quickly OP but most
likely a selfing
7. Oxalis megalorrhiza - this is a nice tuberous species, some people say
that it can be weedy. I have found two plants in another pot but they can be
easily pulled out, unlike the real weedy Oxalis corniculata group.
8. Habranthus tubispathus - OP with no others of the same genus around
9. Impatiens tinctoria
10. Allium carinatum ssp. pulchellum - OP with no others of the same genus
around

From Eugene Zielinski:
15. Seed of Alophia veracruzana
From Mary Sue Ittner:(SEEDS)
16. Gladiolus carmineus- fall blooming before the leaves, winter growing,
grows within view of the ocean in its native habitat, does really
well in coastal Northern California. Seed just harvested
17. Lilium maritimum- a somewhat rare Lilium that grows where I live in
coastal Northern California with cool summer temperatures. I don't
know how hardy it is.
18. Nerine masoniorum- almost evergreen, probably needs year round water,
needs to be planted right away or as soon as it sprouts
19. Nerine sarniensis hybrid- winter growing, summer dormant, but still
doing better with occasional water in summer so the roots don't
shrivel, needs to be planted right away or as soon as the seed
sprouts (although one year I forgot it and all of the seed had
produced bulbs in the dish I had put the seed in and set aside when I
discovered it many months later)
From Bob Werra:
20. Seed of Fritillaria biflora
From Peter Taggart:
21. Bulb of Iris vicaria (only one order)
22. Bulbs of Iris cycloglossa
23. Bulblets of Iris reticulata 'Halkis'
24. Seedlings of large Eremerus species grown from wild seed.
25. Tubers of Geranium transversal, ex Ruksans
26. Tubers of Geranium macrostylum, ex Ruksans
29. Seed of Paeonia ex 'Aurelia' from Ray Cobbs, 'Aurelia' is a hybrid of P.
molokosevitizii. My plants are almost indistinguishable from P.
molokosevitizii
