Dear All, Due to the delay in air mail during the COVID pandemic, my donation is only offered now by Luminita. I would like to comment on some of the items. Some of the items need immediate attention on receipt: they are Begonia martiana bulbili and Dioscorea tubers. They should still be viable but must not be stored any longer: give them a soak in lukewarm water over night and pot them the next day. The Begonia being Mexican has only started to grow recently. Diosorea needs some bottom heat to start, its growth cycle is rather long in autumn but it eventually goes completely dormant in winter and must then be kept dry. A vigorous vine with beautiful foliage. All 3 Dahlia seed should not be sown in hot conditions, all come from humid and moist montane forests. If you live in a comparable climate they can be sown, they are all winter flowering and need a frost free environment anyway. These seeds should be viable until this autumn or next early spring. All three belong to the tree Dahlia group. Tradescantia boliviana is NOT a creeper or a hanging basket plant but an upright tuberous perennial. If sown immediately it may still produce a reasonably sized plant, but I recomment keeping some of the seed till next spring. It needs as much sun as possible, lots of water while growing but must have a totally dry winter rest, otherwise the fleshy roots will rot. A magnificent long flowering plant with pink flowers loved by insects. Seed of the two Zantedeschias is best kept until spring next spring. They are summer growers and may not be able to form a tuber big enough to survive the first dormancy. Z. jucuda is a magnificent bright yellow with spotted leaves and Z. albomaculata is an elegant white flowerd with arrow shaped pretty leaves, also spotted, originally from Ellen Hornig, thank you, Ellen! Hope that helps! Bye for now Uli _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
