Here are my own photos of the mother plants of seeds and corms on their way to the PBS BX. Aristea capitata seed Evergreen leaves, May bloom, blue original plant from Annies Annuals http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… A. capitata blue is true blue, as in MSI's photo. The color balance is wrong in my photo. Stalk 4.5 feet tall, upper foot covered with buds and blooms. and http://flickr.com/photos/gastils_garden/… Moraea bellendenii corms Winter grower, April bloom, bright yellow original corms from Mike Mace http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… and http://flickr.com/photos/gastils_garden/… Gladiolus italicus corms and seed Winter grower, April bloom, magenta http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… and http://flickr.com/photos/gastils_garden/… Lately I have come to value seeing a photo of the actual mother plant of seed. In some cases my photos are not as clear as others' photos, but the value here is the definite connection between the image and the offered material. The offered seeds and corms were gathered from exactly the plants seen in these photos. Especially with seeds, it can take years before we see what we got. So far everything I have received from the PBS BX has been as labeled, as far as I can tell so far from bulbs which have bloomed. Keeping records, written and photographic, takes time and patience and I don't always succeed with that, as evidenced by a charming tiny pink bud of... something... this morning with double label failure: both buried and top labels are illegible. One can only try! - Gastil
