Dear All,

       The items listed below have been donated by our members to be shared.

  If you are interested in obtaining some of them, please email me PRIVATELY
at <ds429@comcast.net>. Include "BX 263" in the subject line. 

        Specify the NUMBERS of the items which you would like; do not
specify quantities. It is a good idea to include your snail mail address,
too, in case I don't already have it. Availability is based on a first come,
first served system. When you receive your seeds/bulbs you will find,
included with them, a statement of how much money (usually $2.00/item)
(cash, check, or Pay Pal to <Arnold140@verizon.net>; no money orders,
please) you should send the PBS treasurer to defray our costs for packing
and first-class, priority-mail, or international postage.

 PLEASE NOTE: CURRENT POSTAL-RATE SCHEMES NECESSITATE OUR PLACING A
SURCHARGE ON EACH ORDER FROM PBS BX OFFERINGS.

members of the Pacific Bulb Society. THIS BX OFFERING IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO

From Jerry Lehmann:

1. Small clumps of Liriope Muscari 'Variegata
2. Small clumps Tulbaghia violacea 'Tricolor'

From Max Withers:

3. Seeds of Cyrtanthus elatus x montanus (F1) Third-year seedlings
germinated easily and have grown vigorously despite my neglect, but have not
flowered yet. Parents from Telos.

From Justin Smith:

4. Seed of Lilium michauxii

From Dave Brastow:

5. Small bulbs of Camassia cusickii

From Nhu Nguyen: (SEEDS)

6. Hesperocallis undulata (wild collected) - this beautiful lily is well
loved but so far there have been no success stories. This is another chance
for PBS members to experiment. These seeds came from a locality outside of a
park where a larger population is known. It may take a month or two before
the seeds germinate.

7. Pasithea coerulea

8. Triteleia clementina

9. Zephyranthes drummondii (bulb from Telos Rare Bulbs)

10. Calochortus albus (brown specked form) - the mother bulb look similar to
photo #1.

11. Allium crispum (wild collected) - There is a bit of variation in this
species and growing from wild-collected seeds ensures that this variation is
preserve.

12. Massonia echinata (received as M. hirsuta) - has a lovely fragrance.

13. Hesperantha bachmanii - these produce dainty little flowers that are
fragrant. The plant will bloom in the second year of growth if grown in
optimal conditions.

Thank you, Jerry, Max, Justin, Dave, and Nhu !!

Best wishes,
Dell
