IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM ME, TRY AGAIN !! From Mary Sue Ittner: (BULBS) 1. Ledebouria cooperi - a small summer grower from South Africa 2. Oxalis sp. from Uli -- collected in Oaxaca, Mexico. It is summer growing and blooming. 3. Polianthes gemiflora - syn Bravoa geminiflora - summer growing and flowering From Jim Waddick: 4. Bulbs of Zephyranthes candida This is the starter drug for Rain lily fans. Among the easiest, most vigorous and available of all rain lilies. Single white 6 petal flowers appear by 'magic' during and after summer rain. Very easy. Hrdiness? Zone 6/7 From Nhu Nguyen: BULBS: 5. Oxalis tetraphylla 'Iron Cross' - this is one of those widespread plants with nice leaves and prolific flowers. It is larger so it can be grown in the ground with other landscaping plants. It doesn't mind winter water as long as the media is really well drained. 6. Gladiolus dalenii - grown from seeds, 2 years old 7. Tigridia pavonia - typical red/orange form, grown from seeds, 2 years old, should bloom in the 3rd or 4th year. SEEDS: 8. Cyrtanthus galpinii - wild collected seeds from KwaZulu-Natal South Africa. 9. Melasphaerula ramosa - I got these from a friend but I already have some so I'm passing them on. 10.
