Jim.
I'm sure others on this list can supply more thorough information, but
here's a start.
If memory serves me correctly, Bioquest International was Richard Doutt's
nursery in California.  Doutt grew (from seed) and sold winter-growing
bulbs native to South Africa.
He also authored a book, Cape Bulbs (1994) which was published through
Timber Press.  Apparently, it is no longer in print, but used copies are
available.  You can probably find it in a good university library.

Dear Pbs ers,

Earlier I asked if anyone knew of Lapeirousia enigmata and got no

leadds. Since then I have traced it back - possibly to a mid 1990s listing
from Bioquest International  and the late Richard L. Doutt.

Can someone please fill me in some on the nature of this venture? Did he

sell seeds, plants, wild collected? Anyone have a list with this bulb on
it?

Many thanks for any help.         Best        Jim W.
