        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.

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

From Nhu Nguyen: (SEEDS):

OP = open pollinated. All species are winter growing, except for
Zephyranthes "datensis", Cyrtanthus brachyscyphus, and Sprekelia
formosissima. 

1. Albuca spiralis - tight curly form, OP

3. Albuca spiralis - lax form
Barely curly at the tips of the leaves

4. Zephyranthes "datensis" - control pollinated
http://flickr.com/photos/xerantheum/…
I got seeds of this species from Brazil. It was called "datensis" but it
does not appear to be a validly published name. 

5. Cyrtanthus brachyscyphus control pollinated
http://flickr.com/photos/xerantheum/…
This is a lovely orange form of the species and one of the easiest species
of Cyrtanthus to grow.
