at <ds429@comcast.net>. Include "BX 306" 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/share of
seeds or $3 -$5/ share of bulbs)(cash, check, or Pay Pal to
<pbs.treasury@verizon.net>; no money orders, please) you should send the PBS
treasurer.
PLEASE NOTE: CURRENT POSTAL-RATE SCHEMES NECESSITATE OUR PLACING A SURCHARGE
ON EACH ORDER FROM PBS BX OFFERINGS.

not members of the Pacific Bulb Society which has a yearly membership
charge. THIS BX OFFERING IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO MEMBERS of the Pacific Bulb

7. Polianthes x bundrantii See
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… are
offsets from mature blooming bulbs and few will bloom soon, others take a
bit. An interesting cross with tall spikes of tubular red-pink flowers. No
scent. I keep them almost totally dry all winter in cool storage indoors
here.
8. Sprekelia formosissima See
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… are a
mix of two clones mostly the typical and a couple 'Orient Red'. Both bloom
and get treated like typical Hippeastrum cvs.
