From Jim Shields (and Charles Crane): 2. Seeds of Zephyranthes smallii; original seed collected near airport at Brownsville, TX From Mary Sue Ittner: (SEEDS) 3. Chlorogalum pomeridianum - winter growing 4. Eucomis comosa - summer growing, purple leaves 5. Nerine angustifolia (already sprouting), open pollinated so likely hybrid 6. Nerine sarniensis (mixed colors) 7. Polianthes geminiflora - summer growing 8. Tigridia vanhouttei - summer growing From Nicholas Plummer: 9. Seeds of Arisaema triphyllum – these are seeds from plants grown in my garden and are two generations removed from seed originally collected in Wake Co, NC. I usually observe good germination after cold, moist stratification. 10. Seeds of Lilium formosanum – these are the tall standard variety originally purchased from Niche Gardens. They were pollinated by moths in the open garden, but I did not have any other Lilium species blooming at the time. I think the chance of hybrids is minimal. These plants volunteer readily, so I have never attempted controlled germination. Consequently, I do not know what percentage of seeds are viable. From Chris Elwell: (SEEDS) 11. Calochortus venustus, burgundy (OP) 12. Calochortus venustus "var. sanguineus" (OP) 13. Habranthus gracilifolius From Dee Foster: 14. Seeds of Gloriosa superba 15.
