Small corms of Ferraria divaricata From Mary Sue Ittner: 12. Corms of Ferraria densipunctulata From Roy Herold: BULBS 13. Ambrosina bassii--Small offsets 14. Drimia sp (formerly Rhadamanthus)--ex Tom Glavich, BX214-19. This is indeed quite different from D. platyphylla, although the leaves are similar. The bulbs are two to three times the size of platyphylla, it emerges a month sooner (in full leaf now), and it has the curious habit of forming little bulbils at the soil surface at the top of the bulb neck. It has yet to bloom for me. Only a few. 15. Drimia sp. Calitzdorp--ex Gariep Nursery. Similar to platyphylla, but the jury is out on a positive ID. Only a few. 16. Cyrtanthus brachyscyphus 17. Cyrtanthus hybrid #1 ex Logee's. Big, soft orange trumpets. Evergreen. 18. Cyrtanthus hybrid #2 ex Logee's. Smaller medium orange trumpets fading to pink. Evergreen. From Larry Neel: SEEDS 19.
