> 1. Hymenocallis eucharidifolia – very few.

> germination.
>

> Haemanthus. White flowers in June (Northern Hemisphere)
> 
> 4. Haemanthus humilis hirsutus (white) probably x H. montanus (open
> pollinated in June)
> 
> 5. Crinum variabile -- hardy outdoors in the ground in Indiana, once bulbs
> get to be about 2 inches in diameter. Flowers open pure white, turn pink as
> they age. Everyone should grow Crinum variabile!
> 
> From David Ehrlich:
> 
> 6. Bulbs of Scilla peruviana
> 
> SEEDS:
> 
> 7. Freesia laxa (red on red): the parent plants were grown from seed from
> Alberto Castillo in BX 179
> 
> 8. Moraea pendula: the parent plant was from Annie’s Annuals. 
> 
> 9. Scilla peruviana: My plants produced much seed in previous years, but
> this year they were far too crowded to prosper, so I have only a few seeds.
> 
> 10. Albuca aurea: parent plant was from Annie’s Annuals. It bloomed this
> season, but produced very little seed.
> 
> 11. Cypella herbertii: The seeds for the parent plants came from Alberto
> Castillo. They grow very well, and produce a great deal of seed. 
> 
> From Alberto Castillo:
> 
> 12. ADULT bulbs of a miniature Ornithogalum species, fine foliage growing in
> tufts, clumping, evergreen, but definitely a winter grower. Flowers are
> white, minute and produced in profusion in spring. It was originally
> distributed as seed in an early PBS BX. Has been a charming
> undemanding species in full sun and gritty soil. It does not key out to any
> of the species in the monograph. Frost free conditions.
> 
> From John Ingram:
> 
> 13. Tubers of Sinningia selovii, from open pollinated parents. Are likely to
> be of a variety of shades of color.
> 
> From Bob Hoel:
> 
> 14. Near blooming-size bulbs of Hippeastrum papilio ($5.00 each)
> 
> 15. Good sized (2 - 4 cm dia) offsets of Hippeastrum papilio (the usual
> $2.00 per share depending on supply/demand)
