I think Uli is right. Just as I was starting up someone sent me seed of Hymenocallis leavenworthii. I planted it even though I don’t want the plant (I prefer mostly hardy bulbs) and it’s now growing in my greenhouse. The seeds sent out radicles fairly quickly but top growth was a long time coming. When these go dormant they’re going to the BX. One or two seed pots to support the BX really doesn’t take up much room.

And then send the seedling bulbs to the BX. Small bulbs are much tougher than perishable seed. I have accepted this kind of seed and am doing that for the EU-BX right now. For me it does not matter to have yet another pot in the garden to look after. In my Mediterranean climate all seed pots do not need greenhouse space. > Being a European member I cannot comment on the other suggestions but I want to thank Robert and the Shoal Creek folks for offering their help. > I am posting this in the forum as well. > > Bye for now > > Uli > > > > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… > Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> > PBS Forum https://… _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://…
