Doutt Bioquest 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.
