There, I just did it. You highlight what you want to respond to, then
-right- click anywhere else on the email and click on reply.

I know some remove the whole previous email, but I find that confusing
to read.

I've found glassine envelopes at coin dealers' stores. It's worth looking
around your area for such stores before you import them.
If you are ordering on line, both SIGNA and U-Line are good sources.

You can also fold seed-tight envelopes out of plain pieces of office
paper, and secure the edge folds with a bit of tape if needed. If you want
instructions, contact me directly, away from this forum. I've found folded
seed packets to work in a pinch many times.

Cheers,

Kathleen

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty - liberty from some weeds, at
least.

Nobody ever said that gardening is always easy. It's not always a matter

These species are why I have an aversion to all oxalis, even those that I
know are not weedy.

On the subject of weeds, I have discovered one previously unidentified
weed
I will avoid is Asparagus capensis. I had encountered it but did not
recognize it as an asparagus until the topic came up today.

I really value this group, I have learned quite a bit from all of you and
I
hope I can return the favor over time.

This was an experiment i did in October last year, it is a Lilium regale
that i grew from a 7cm stem cutting, it was not a baby plant like
sometimes
grow on lilies after flowering, rather a true stem cutting, that grew
roots
& shot from the node.. I never realised they could be grown from cutting &
i wonder if others have ever tried this experiment ?

When I dig up lilies, often if the bulb was originally planted rather
deep, the stem from the bulb, up to the soil surface, will have roots and
new babies developing the whole way up, so this doesn't surprise me.

Of course, those of us who use many different email clients on many
different platforms are still liable to make mistakes... As I did when
I sent a message to the whole list a few weeks ago that I meant to
send to Mary Sue. I'd like to apologize for that, and especially for
the implication that members with less-than-perfect English are
unwelcome, which was not at all what I intended. I think we all agree
about that.

I haven't responded both because I'm too busy, and because I did not
want to make the situation worse by adding yet another email to
everyone's inbox about something in no way related to geophytes (which
was why I wanted to send the message to Mary Sue in the first
place...) We are all here to learn about (or at least talk about)
bulbs, not email clients or spelling or how to use the internet. I
want to sincerely apologize for contributing to that problem.

Thus, the interesting part of this email:
Lachenalia orchioides var. orchioides is in full bloom, farther along
than L. aloides var. quadricolor, which normally, for me, gets started
in early December. L. orchioides, from seed, bloomed last year in late
Feb. for the first time; it got a LOT of sun this winter. L. aloides
got less sun but not I think less than usual; however, its pot is
incredibly overcrowded (from I think 3 bulbs purchased from Odyssey
Bulbs in 2007, I now have at least 14 scapes, and many more plants).
In short, either crowding delays but does not reduce flowering in L.
aloides, or extreme (winter) sun hastens flowering in L. orchiodes.
(Or both).

L. orchioides var. orchioides might be described as the kind of plant
only a mother could love. It's all green with a yellowish tinge at the
edge of the petaloid tepals. But the variation in leaf spotting is
astonishing (I have 5 plants from a single packet of Silverhill seed)
-- and even more variable are the tiny cyan (think Ixia viridiflora)
speckles on the sepaloid tepals:

These small epiphanies are why I grow bulbs! (And enjoy reading emails
about bulbs from others who grow them).

Best,
