From Roy Sachs:
1. Fresh tubers of Zantedeschia 'Green Goddess'
From Mary Sue Ittner:
2. Bulbs of Cyrtanthus brachyscyphus - Last year I broke up one pot of two
I hadn't replanted in years and planted some of the offsets in two new pots
and gave a large number of the rest to the BX. In this go round I'm giving
all of the bulbs in the second pot to the BX since both pots of the one
divided did really well and I don't need three pots. The one I didn't divide
that I'm giving away had blooms from January to May in my unheated
greenhouse. I think this plant can be grown as a house plant. In a
Mediterranean climate it didn't do well for me in the ground and I suspect
that it was too dry in summer.
