There is a known population on them in southern Turkey. So they should have some form of recognition. I'm not sure what the latest thinking is about this population. By and large they are single marks but they can approach the twin markings of G. e. elwesii. It is just very uncommon. There are virescent forms beginning to circulate in Europe even. Green-tipped forms are coming true from seed too.   Mark W. Brown, Normandy, France.         > Message du 30/11/15 16:34 > De : "penstemon" > Objet : Re: [pbs] bulb planting  Narcissus & Galanthus > .... Now G. elwesii var monostictus are in full bloom. I have heard some people call this species elwesii var monostictus Hiemalis Group. Most have the typical inner green chevron mark but some have three spots looking like the spring blooming cultivar named 'Grumpy'. There is even one with slightly green-tipped "outers" as is common with the spring forms of elwesii. Not a species, but a group of G. elwesii var. monostictus which have a single apical marking and usually flower before the end of the year. The ones which are not in this group do not necessarily flower later; they’re just not in this group.

I know that I have germinated refrigerated seeds years after I collected or obtained them, for example I collected seeds in 1993 (many of them geophytic spp) in S Africa and germinated many of them last year with good results. Not everything came up but most did. Now that we have a big enough place I have one refrigerator dedicated to seed storage in the basement (wife still gets the freezer though) so the kitchen one is for food only. Before when I had to use the kitchen fridge the one rule I had was no fresh fruit in the fridge as ethylene gas given off by ripe fruit can damage seeds. I don't know in actual fact how much of an effect it really has but I didnt want to risk it. Having at least some refrigerator space for seed storage is a good idea for serious plant collectors, as plants do fall out of fashion or cultivation and then no one can find them because no one is growing them. Even though they are not geophytes, I often think of the situation with the Mexican phloxes, P. mesoleuca, where back in the 80s there were orange, bright yellow and red cultivars that were found in one location in Mexico that I have heard is now suburbia. They were grown by rock gardeners and sold in Denver, I hear, in commercial quantities, now no one can find any of them save for a white one I have seen in a private garden that was less than overwhelming (the plant, not the garden). If only someone back then had the foresight to cross them (most phlox are not self fertile) and save seeds, then they might still be around. No doubt the same is true for other plants that I might not be aware of. Ernie DeMarie Briarcliff Manor NY Z7 but more like 8 or 9 so far this year, still have some frost resistant flowers in bloom, and the gomphrocarpus and some gladioli leaves are still green. Even Crinum bulbispermum has not died back all the way yet and various kniphofias are bright green with no dieback. Dieramas also look fantastic right now. -----Original Message----- From: Dell Sherk To: pbs Sent: Thu, Dec 17, 2015 3:41 pm Subject: Re: [pbs] Seed longevity fm SX Well, not from the SX, but I recently found some seeds of Cyrtanthus clavatus that I received from Silverhill nearly 10 years ago, and floated them as an experiment.

We also have a significant number of members in the US Pacific Northwest, and perhaps we can offer a horticultural and social opportunity for them. An obvious choice of dates is the weekend of April 9-10 and surrounding dates, since the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon hosts their very large plant sale, known as "Hortlandia," on that weekend. The American Primrose Society presents a show at the same venue on that weekend. Although some of our regional members who have nurseries will be very busy setting up on Friday and selling plants the next two days, others might be willing to welcome garden visitors. Early April seems a bit late for the most interesting bulbs, especially given the likelihood of an unusually warm (and wet!) winter, but there is still quite a lot, especially in the open garden. I'd be interested to hear from correspondents on this list who might like to open their gardens within reasonable driving distance of Portland, or who would like to come to this area for the sale and perhaps see some gardens and greenhouse collections the same weekend. We could probably arrange an evening meeting somewhere central, as well; it might include a talk and/or catered buffet. Let me know your thoughts!

Everyone has to eat so a catered buffet or dinner on Saturday could work well. I think we can all agree that the garden we’d really like to see is Jane’s. She probably has the most bulbiferous display in the Portland area. Wild Ginger also grows lots of bulbs but they’ll be up to their eyeballs in Hortlandia work so we should probably just plan to enjoy the bulbs they bring to the sale. If it’s in bloom you can bet it’ll show up at the sale. Jan > >> From time to time, in the past mostly in California where PBS has many >> members, bulb enthusiasts have held informal meetings.

Ian still has more chapters to write so is moving the date for the full combined "e-book" 'Erythroniums in Cultivation' going online to the end of January. http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2015Dec301451476368Bulb_log_5215a.pdf From klazina1@gmail.com Wed, 30 Dec 2015 11:17:03 -0800 Message-Id: <5684259A.5090402@gmail.com> From: Ina Crossley Subject: Habranthus caeruleus Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2015 07:42:34 +1300 Yes Cynthia. It turns out that the Japanese one is probably really a Habranthus tubispathus. There is another more blue one in Argentina, which is supposed to be the real H. caeruleus. As happens a lot in the Rainlily family, there are no definites until it can be checked with the DNA or whatever it is called.

Congratulations on completion of a marvelous piece of work. If only more people in the described region would stop chasing gods and start growing plants... As the new year isn't here in Germany yet, I'll say "Guten Rutsch!" to all of you! I've heard that doesn't translate well to English - it means something like "have a good transition to the new year".
