From Gastil:
1. Cormlets of Moraea ciliate
2. Babiana pulchra, white, corms ex Jim Duggan
3. Sparaxis tricolor hybrid ex UCSB, dk velvet red with yellow+black
markings, corms
From Jim Shields:
4. Bulbs of Haemanthus humilis humilis. I assume these are all the pink
flowered form, but they are not yet bloom size so I'm not sure.
From Shawn Pollard:
5. Small bulbs of Chlorogalum pomeridianum
From John Wickham: (CORMS):
6. Babiana 'Deep Dreams'
7. Babiana 'Purple Haze'
8. Babiana 'Brilliant Blue'

13. Ipheion 'Rolf Fiedler' ex UCI
14. Tritonia 'Charles Puddles'

From Mary Sue Ittner: BULBS (all winter growing):
17. Ferraria ferrariola - grown from seed, never bloomed so can't confirm
identity (few)
18. Ferraria variabilis - descendents from Robinett give-away marked F.
divaricata. They have never bloomed and I'm giving up and hoping
someone in a warmer climate in summer than mine will have success. I suspect
that these are F. variabilis as F. divaricata has been reduced, part of it
is not considered F. variabilis
19. Lachenalia aloides var. quadricolor - mostly the small bulblets that
form around the bulb
20. Oxalis bowiei - very tall fall bloomer with pink flowers, best I suspect
in deep pot
21. Oxalis caprina - this one has a reputation as being weedy, but hasn't
been any worse than some of the others, lilac flowers, late fall
22. Oxalis flava - there are lots of different flava forms, this one has
yellow flowers, fall bloomer
23. Oxalis flava (as namaquana) - purchased as namaquana, but is flava, I
think it is different than the one above, but can't remember exactly how
24. Oxalis gracilis - orange flowers late fall, nicely divided leaves, short
bloomer for me
25. Oxalis livida - fall bloomer, very different leaves, check it out on the
wiki, purple flowers
26. Oxalis namaquana - small bulbs, bright yellow flowers in winter, low,
seen in Namaqualand in mass in a wet spot
27. Oxalis obtusa - winter blooming, didn't make a note of color
28. Oxalis obtusa MV 6341 - Nieuwoudtville. 1.5" bright yellow flowers.
Tight, compact plants. Winter blooming
29. Oxalis polyphylla v heptaphylla MV6396 - fall bloomer, lavender flowers
30. Oxalis imbricata
Thank you, Gastil, Jim, Shawn, John, and Mary Sue !!
