From Nhu Nguyen:
SEEDS:
OP = open pollinated
1. Allium dichlamydeum - one of the latest blooming onions, thick petals,
beautiful plant. OP
2. Allium hyalinum - pink form. OP
3. Allium hyalinum - white form. OP
4. Allium unifolium - tall, up to 1 foot (30cm) probably the easiest of the
CA onions to grow. OP
5. Salvia patens - a tuberous species that goes dormant in winter. Sow in
spring.
6. Tulbaghia acutiloba - this was a cross from two forms, one from Devon,
one from unknown locality.
7. Gladiolus huttoniae x gracilis - these two plants were blooming right
next to each other so I'm pretty sure these are hybrid seeds. OP
8. Zephyranthes katheriniae - yellow with orange throat form
(http://flickr.com/photos/xerantheum/…). Selfed with no other
amaryllids blooming at the time.
9. Triteleia ixioides spp. scabra - from Telos Rare Bulbs, these have a nice
and large open inflorescence. OP
