Seed of Aesculus parviflora Aesculus parviflora is not a bulb, it's > a large shrub native to the southeastern United States with attractive > flowers and foliage, and often striking yellow autumn color. It's much more > cold hardy (USDA Zone 5, possibly 4) than its native range would suggest. > It grows from large seeds, which must be sown immediately otherwise they > dry out and aren't viable. I've successfully grown the plant from seed in > two ways, placing fresh seeds under the leaf litter along the edge of a > woodland where I want them to grow, and pressing them into moist potting > soil in gallon containers and keeping those containers in my garage until > spring. Keeping them in the cool, but frost free, garage helps in two ways, > it keeps the squirrels from finding the ungerminated seeds and eating them, > and if some of the seeds germinate early the young plants don't freeze. > They're not houseplants, germinating and growing them at room temperature > over the winter is not recommended. Well cared for plants often flower when > just a few years old. > > >> > > 43. Seed of Lilium sp? I did not see the open flower. From dried petals > on some plants the color was yellow/orange. This could mean L. pardalinum, > or L. kelleyanum. The common name for this lily is "Leopard Lily." > _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/ _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
