From Jay Yourch:

1. Crinum bulbispermum seeds, all from Jumbo selections.  Very cold hardy.

bispermum

2. Bulbs of Crinum bulbispermum 'Wide Open White' x C. 'Spring Joy' , from
crosses which I made in 2006.  Their flowers are variable, showing the
diversity of genes present in their parents.  They should be very cold
hardy, likely doing well into zone 6.  They start flowering before any other
Crinum in my garden, usually April here in central North Carolina, although
they got started in March this year and continued into June.  There are
bulbs with white flowers and bulbs with pale pink flowers, and they are
labeled.

3. Various sized bulbs of Crinum pedunculatum .  Fairly tender, Zone 8, but
does well in colder areas if grown in a large container and protected from
freezing temperatures. A greenhouse is not required, my spends each winter
in a cool garage (above freezing) and looks nearly as good in early spring
as it did the previous autumn.  While I enjoy its spidery, white flowers, I
enjoy its architectural foliage even more.

From Terry Laskiewicz:

4. Small bulbs of Cyrtanthus loddigesianus, clear pink, original seed from
SGRC. Plant immediately.
5. Bulbs of Hyacinthoides lingulata, fall blooming, "perfect leaves"
6. Bulbs of Notholirion thompsonianum, from Jane McGary

Thank you Jay and Terry !!

Best wishes,
Dell
