From Kathleen Sayce:

1. Seeds of Ipheion uniflorum 'Charlotte Bishop', pink

From Arnold Trachtenberg:

2. Seeds of Arum palaestinum
3. Seeds of Arum korolkowii

From Jerry Lehmann:

4. Seedling tubers of Arisaema draconitum 'Green Dragon'  Collected seed
"cluster" fall of 2010 from habitat. Placed in protected location on soil
surface at my house over winter, cleaned and separated seeds and immediately
sowed at the end of March 2011. 

5. Seed of Camassia 'Sacajawea'  Mine is in full sun until 3 pm. Then light
shade. Holds foliage color well.

6. Seed of Zigadenus nuttallii ex Riley County, Kansas

From Stephen Putman:

7. Seeds of Hippeastrum stylosum

From Phil Andrews:

8. Seed of Allium 'Globemaster' and similar white alliums. Both have
identical leaf forms and flower stalk heights, so they go well together. I
don't know if they come true from seed yet.

From Mary Sue Ittner:

9. Seed of Arum purpureospathum
10. Seed of Cyrtanthus mackenii, not sure which color form

From Shawn Pollard:

11. Seeds of Manfreda erubescens.  I got the seeds for my plants from the BX
years ago and this is the most beautiful and successful of the Manfredas in
my Yuma garden.

12 Seeds of Nyctaginia capitata.  This tuberous-rooted ground cover (scarlet
muskflower or ramillete del diablo) from West Texas doesn't mind Yuma's
summer heat one bit.  Yes, the flowers are musky, like a carob.

13. Seeds of Amoreuxia palmatifida (Mexican yellowshow).

14. Seeds of Amoreuxia gonzalezii (Santa Rita yellowshow).

15. Seeds of Ascelpias albicans.  A stem-succulent relative of the tuberous
milkweeds, this is a hard-core xerophyte with no frost tolerance that grows
on rocky slopes from where all cold air drains away in winter.  Tarantula
hawks love the flowers

From Shirley Meneice:

16. Seeds of Bowiea volubilis
17. Seeds of Anomatheca laxa, red, that is a Lapeirousia or some other Irid
now.

From Dave Boucher:

18. Seed of Hymenocallis astrostephana

From Steven Hart:

19. Seed of Lilium formosanum
20. Seed of Habranthus robustus

From Richard Hart:

21. Seeds of Veltheimia bracteata
22. Seed of Datura sp. "Moonflower"

From Fereydoun Sharifi: (NOTE:  ALL OF THESE SEEDS ARE IN VERY LIMITED
SUPPLY!!!)

23. Worsleya procera 4 seeds (3 from Brazilian plant + 1 from Australian
plant)

26. Seeds of Nerine humilis: Late season/small flower 
27. Seeds of Nerine filifolia 
28. Seeds of Nerine undulata 
29. Seeds of Nerine undulata alta 

From Dell Sherk:

30. Seeds of Pucara leucantha (few)
31. Seeds of Cyrtanthus, probably C. montanus or a hybrid with that
parentage. Wide-open trumpet shaped scarlet flowers, many to a scape.

From Nhu Nguyen:

SEEDS
OP = open pollinated, W = winter growing, S = summer growing, 
32. Lewisia brachycalyx OP, W, no other species blooming at the same time,
probably pure
33. Lapeirousia corymbosa - OP, W, although no other Lapeirousia blooming at
the same time, probably pure
34. Babiana ringens - OP, W, nice red form
35. Calochortus luteus NNBH69.1- OP, W
36, Calochortus luteus NNBH2503 - OP, W, collected from a native patch in a
friend's yard in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. These are supposed to
have nice brown markings. I have some extra so I'm sharing them.
37. Solenomelus pedunculatus - OP, W, probably pure since no other irids
were blooming at the same time.
38. Allium unifolium - OP, W.
39. Tulbaghia acutiloba - cross pollinated between two forms, S
40. Herbertia lahue - OP, S
41. Impatiens gomphophylla - OP, S, winter dormant, tuberous. High chance of
hybridization with other impatiens species.
