From Mary Sue Ittner:
BULBS:
10. Nerine masoniorum is a small nearly evergreen thread leaf Nerine with
light pink flowers that flowers in the fall.

11. Oxalis sp. L 96/42 is summer growing Oxalis originally from Uli and
collected in Oxaca, Mexico. Suggested species were Oxalis magnifica or O.
nelsonii, but I have no confirmation of these identities. This species is
dormant for me in winter and blooms for a long time in summer with large
pink flowers.

12. Bulblets of Cyrtanthus elatus x montanus -- I grew mine from small
bulblets and it blooms reliably now that it is growing in a very large pot
with the bulbs planted more deeply.
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
SEEDS:
13. Haemanthus albiflos -- evergreen Haemanthus that I grow outside in
California in a lath area. It forms offsets around the main bulbs and blooms
in late fall
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
14. Hesperoxiphion peruvianum -- This was offered not too long ago, but it
is such a satisfying plant because of its amazing large flowers that I
thought in case some people hadn't gotten seed then to send my seed. This
one is summer growing, yellow, flowers fleeting, but many formed over
several months. It usually blooms for me late summer into fall when not a
lot of other things are in bloom and then is dormant in winter.

15. Massonia jasminiflora --This is a real treasure. I've never successfully
grown it from seed and I tried it number of times before buying bulbs so
don't know what to advise. It comes from a summer rainfall area, but grows
and flowers in the winter.

Thank you, Mary Sue !!
