The items below have been donated by our members and friends to be shared.

Notes for SX 2:

1)You may also request seeds that are still available from SX 1. I’ve
listed those in a separate section below to make clear which are new
with SX 2 and which are from SX 1, but you can combine requests into one
email. (Send PRIVATELY, do not use REPLY – see below.)

2)We’re including comments from the donors for SX 2 items where they
were provided, in hopes it will help in making your selections. If you
like it, don’t like it, or have suggestions for improvement, please let
me know. (Probably also best sent privately.)

If you are interested in obtaining some of these items, please email me
PRIVATELY at:

mailto:samarak@gizmoworks.com

Include "SX 2" in the subject line.

It is better to FORWARD this email to the above address rather than
attempting to REPLY to it as your reply will probably go to the entire
PBS list, and since my mail program will sort private replies ahead of
replies to the list, this will cause your request to be processed later.
As requests are filled first-come-first-served, replying to the list
will reduce your chance of receiving items that are in short supply.

You may request 1 or 2 packets of any item. Specify the quantity (1 or
2) and the item number. Please also include your shipping address. When
you receive your seeds, you will find enclosed a statement of what you
owe the PBS treasurer ($2.00 US per packet + shipping).

Many of you are members of the PBS mailing list, which is free, but are
not members of the Pacific Bulb Society which has a yearly membership
charge. ONLY PBS MEMBERS MAY PARTICIPATE IN THIS SX. If you are not a
member, please consider joining so that you can participate in future
offers such as this one. Go to:

Thank you to all of our generous donors!

glandulifera but salmon pink. It forms a massive fleshy tuber, mine has
made its pot burst this summer. It may be hardy in mild winter areas but
should be protected from excessive winter wet. My plant is grown in a
very large pot and kept totally dry in winter until it resprouts in spring.

black carrot and has thin twining shoots and many blue flowers. I

573 Tulipa tarda FL

574 Wachendorfia thyrsiflora FL

575 Zantedeschia aethiopica UU Zantedeschia aethiopica summer growing hardy form. Given to me by John
Grimshaw, it was collected in 2002 on Sani Pass, near Sani Pass Hotel,
remained a single crowned plant with only very few offsets but has very
small white flower on long tube but the leaves are very large and
beautiful, a large clump of it must be spectacular. No other
Zantedeschia was in flower at this time so the seeds should come true.
There is a second clone which is less vigorous and has not flowered so
far. It definitely behaves like a summer grower and has been hardy with
a good mulch so far. Also it does not mind hot summer weather whereas
the widely available form "Crowborough" never performed with me, it went
dormant in hot summer weather. I will sow some of the seeds myself to
have more plants of this beauty.
