From Rimmer de Vries: 1. yellow Clivia sp.: 1 yr old seedings (VERY FEW) 2. yellow Clivia sp.: 3 yr old seedlings (FEW) These are all Type 1 yellow clivia- that means they always make yellow seedlings no matter what pollen parent you use. The pale yellow flower flower is rather large and loose. 3. 1/2” bulb offsets Ornithogalum caudatum (Albuca bracteata) (FEW) 4. Seeds of Clivia hyb Salmon D4- Apricot D6 color, salmon colored fruits, ex Maris Andersons. (VERY FEW) From Monica Swartz: (small bulbs) 5. Cyrtanthus sanguineus ex BX 280 6. Cyrtanthus elatus x montanus ex BX 202 7. Hippeastrum blossfeldiae ex BX 220 From Uli Urban: 8. Tubers of Spathantheum orbignyanum; a deciduous Aroid from Bolivia. It is incredibly prolific. This plant produces large leaves in summer similar to those of Acanthus. The flowers appear before the leaves and look like a long-stemmed thin leaf, only if you look at the underside one will see it is in fact a flower. The smell is strange, not on the pleasant side.... It likes full sun and lots of water and fertilize when in growth and takes a totally dry rest in winter, easy to grow. 9. Bulbili of “Lachenalia rubida var. bulbifera”. A nice and easy to grow plant, the bulbili are fresh and were harvested today. It is a winter growing plant with early spring flowers. From Ralph Carpenter: 10. Seeds of Hippeastrum vittatum 11. Seeds of Hippeastrum blossfeldiae Thank you, Rimmer, Monica, Uli, and Ralph !! Best wishes, Dell Dell Sherk, PBS BX _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
