From Mary Sue Ittner (SEED):
1. Gloriosa modesta syn. Littonia modesta- summer growing
2. Nerine angustifolia - summer grower
3. Nerine platypetala - summer grower
4. Nerine sarniensis hybrid (pink)
5. Nerine sarniensis hybrid (pink with purple tones)
6. Nerine sarniensis hybrid (red)
From Bob Hoel:
7. Seeds of Jatropha podagrica (a caudiciform member of the Euphorbiaceae)
the seeds resemble bean seeds and are very hard. I put them in a loose,
light soilless mix and water them well. Previously they germinated at normal
greenhouse conditions quite readily. They will rot off if kept overly moist
after germination.
8. Scaly rhizomes of Achimenes 'Robert Dressler'
From Jim Waddick:
Lilium formosanum tall form. There has been considerable discussion on this
list about this species in July. My original plants came from seed collected
at the North Carolina University Arboretum, now the J.C. Raulston Arboretum
in Raleigh NC from plants with flowering stems about 8 ft tall. My plants
have grown well for years and seeded about slightly. These seeds are freshly
matured and pods have split. All plants have the same origin so height of
flower stalk is related to growing conditions, soil, rainfall, etc. I have
kept seed separate from 2 different plants
9. . L. formosanum from a plant with stems 4 ft tall. Flowers large white
trumpets.
10. L. formosanum from a plant with stems 8 ft tall. Flowers large white
trumpets.
If planted early and kept growing, they can bloom from seed by the
end of their first year, but more likely in their second year.
Among the easiest of all lilies from seed.
Thank you, Mary Sue, Bob, and Jim !!
Best wishes,
Dell
