Sparaxis tricolor [W, OP] 13. Hesperantha bachmannii [W, OP] no other Hesperantha were blooming at the same time 14. Massonia pustulata NNBH905 [W, OP] originally from Paul Cumbleton, BX181, described as having very few pustules 15. Massonia aff. pustulata NNBH786 [W, OP] originally from Roy Herold, BX174 16. Lachenalia ensifolia (syn Polyxena pygmaea) [W, OP] 17. Rauhia multiflora [S, CP] 18. Calochortus umbellatus [W, OP] 19. Triteleia lugens [W, CP] 20. Delphinium nudicaule [W, CP] these seeds should be pure 21. Lewisia brachycalyx [W, CP] 22. Fritillaria affinis robust x normal form [W, CP] - we had a discussion about the robust form before that it may be a triploid. However, it crossed just fine with a regular form, from a different location, so I don't think it's a triploid. The seedlings should be an interesting mix of sizes and colors. BULBS: 23.
