From Arnold Trachtenberg: 1. Tubers of Helicodiceros muscivorus "Dead Horse Arum" 2. Bulbs of a Lachenalia aloides var quadricolor From Monica Swartz: (BULBS) 3. Albuca sp. N. Calitzdorp ex bx 209 4. Albuca aff. namaquensis 5. Albuca clanwilliamgloriae ex bx 210 6. Albuca maxima ex bx 219 7. Albuca sp. Uniondale ex bx 209 From Mary Sue Ittner: (BULBS/CORMS) All winter growing: 8. Allium amethystinum 9. Babiana sp. - 20+ years old descendents from mixed Babiana seed. I've never tried to key it out as I suspect it's a hybrid. Reliable bloomer planted in the ground and in containers in Northern California. There could be some corms that look different as this pot was once mixed, but when I replanted I can't tell which is which and lately most of them seem to be the same color. Last time I sent these to the BX, they ended up in the sale later in the year. Hopefully someone will want them this time as now is the time to plant them in the Northern hemisphere. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/…. jpg 10. Babiana secunda cormlets 11.
