        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. 

     Many of you are subscribers to this pbs elist which is free, but are 
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

advantage of future offers such as this. Go to our website:

>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 
http://flickr.com/photos/xerantheum/… 

2. Albuca spiralis - semi lax form 
http://flickr.com/photos/xerantheum/… 

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.
