Oxalis bulbs

In this drought year my garden is looking very stressed, but right 
now I have a lot of Oxalis and Cyclamen in bloom and they are 
wonderful. It also seems to be a good year for Gladiolus carmineus, 
blooming now. My Amaryllis belladonna and hybrids have been blooming 
in four spurts, which actually has been nice since with my shady 
garden I never have a lot of them bloom and when one has finished 
another has started several weeks later.  As I am still repotting I 
found in a pot in one of my raised beds I hadn't repotted since 2009 
a lot of unknown bulbs that I am sure are Oxalis. I'm not sure which 
one and I don't have a note of any blooming in that pot. The corms 
look like they could be Oxalis flava (there are many forms of that), 
maybe O. hirta, or perhaps Oxalis fabaefolia. I thought about sending 
them to Dell, but don't know what they are or just tossing them. 
There are enough for several people so if anyone in the United States 
(so I don't have to deal with postage issues) who doesn't now grow 
Oxalis (or those taxa) and likes to try mystery bulbs wants them, 
contact me PRIVATELY with your address and I'll send them on. If 
there are a lot of requests people who follow directions and make me 
smile will have the best chance of receiving them. Membership in the 
Pacific Bulb Society is not required.
