too, in case I don't already have it. Availability is based on a first come,

included with them, a statement of how much money (usually $2.00/item)

please) you should send the PBS treasurer to defray our costs for packing
and first-class, priority-mail, or international postage.

From Patty Colville:
1. Seeds of Haemanthus coccineus
2. Seed of Clivia gardenia
From Mary Sue Ittner:
3. Seed of Eucomis comosa - summer growing and flowering
4. Seed of Gladiolus carmineus - fall blooming before the leaves, winter
growing, flowers within the sight of the ocean so probably prefers climates
not too cold or hot. I have sprinkled seed around my property on the
northern California coast and delight each fall when they bloom in many
different places
5. Seed of Hesperoxiphion peruvianum - summer growing, late summer, fall
blooming. This past year new flowers were produced for about three months,
every few days even though I didn't deadhead which is supposed to prolong
bloom, but may not matter. The last bloom was in early December, but I
finally moved it into the greenhouse since we are now getting a lot of rain
and colder temperatures and will dry it off.
6. Nerine hybrid seed - I realized recently when a pot of bulbs I grew from
seed produced very different colored and sized bulbs, that I should have
probably been identifying all the seed I have donated as Nerine hybrid seed
(fall blooming on plants that were dormant in summer)
From Dell Sherk:
7. Seedling bulbs of Hippeastrum morelianum (few)
8. Seedling bulbs of Hippeastrum glaucescens (few)
9. Seedling bulbs of Hippeastrum blossfeldiae (few)
10. Seedling bulbs of Dell's cross of Hippeastrum hybrid 'Exotica' x Marvin
Ellenbecker complex cross {[Hippeastrum pardinum x (H. puniceum
x H. evansiae)] x H. papilio}
11. Small offsets of Haemanthus pauculifolius
12. Small offsets of Griffinia espiritensis espiritensis
SCALY RHIZOMES:
13. Achimenes 'Yellow Beauty'
14. Achimenes, tiny red
15. Achimenes, purple
16. Achimenes, pink
17. Eucodonia hybrids
Thank you, Patty, and Mary Sue !!
Best wishes,
Dell
