General Discussion / Re: Invasive Bulbs
May 04, 2022, 06:32:13 AM
Invasive bulbs in my gardens in Kentucky include:
Crocus tommasinianus
Allium sphaerocephalon,
Allium amethystinum and several other weedy alliums
Oxalis obtusa ( 1 from the BX is now 1000s of plants in the semi protected sand beds)
Notholirion thompsonianum came from BX as something else and shows up everywhere.
Gladiolus tristis

In protected areas and Under lights in garage
Gladiolus with very long and very narrow 2-3mm leaves that never bloom (G trichonemifolius?)
Melasphaerula graminea Just arrived as an imposter and it reported to be a greenhouse weed. 


Most older lawns in the Mid South are made up of
Ornithogalum umbellatum (Star of Bethlehem).
Muscari armeniacum
Wild onion
No matter how much you dig up the clumps you always miss some

These are the Sarracenias seedlings 14 years on

I have grown Sarracenias from seed in lettuce boxes of peat moss. I started the seed in January outside in Michigan. Set the fresh seed  in a container of constantly moist peatmoss and let site out all winter, in spring you will seed tiny Sarracenias. Only use rain water and nothing with lime or ph buffers. So 4 months cold worked well.

Grown from BX 363 seed (June 2014) as Hippeastrum stylosum. But looks more like a xHippeastrelia.

KenP you are in better shape than I. I only get expandable thumbnails regardless of how many snaps i attach. I would take picture first, edit if needed,  than attach from photo library.
