Dell I am interested to receive the following
Richard Haard
3276 y road
Bellingham wa., 98226
From Pamela Harlow:
SEED:
1. Brodiaea coronaria ex NNS (Ron Ratko) 02-68: seed from about 40
individuals, all grown from Ron’s wild-collected seed with no chance of
pollination from other plants – 2010 seed 02-68 Brodiaea coronaria Modoc
Plateau, Modoc Co., 4750’The flowers in this population are slightly smaller
with darker blue-purple lobes, paler tubes and distinct pale cream bases.
The flowers are held on erect pedicels creating a narrow candelabra. Common
throughout the undulating flats of rocky clay derived from basalt. Large
colonies are prevalent around the numerous vernal, both natural and manmade,
ponds that dot the landscape. Sierra juniper and sagebrush flats. The
hardiest member of the genus, hardy to Zone 5.
20. Dichelostemma capitatum, ex NNS 03-208 note: these didn’t bloom until
this year so the 2010 Brodiaea could not be contaminated by them
21. Fritillaria affinis
22. Fritillaria camschatensis ex Archibald 4.390.110 note: parent plants
exhibit quite varied bloom color
24. Trillium rivale ex NNS 04-460
25. Trillium rivale ex NNS 04-461
From Arnold Trachtenberg:
27. 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."
