Most people know Winter is a pain for me - all the worrying what suffering may lurk around the next swing of the weather... So I got a VERY good weather site, analyzing several models and the control runs, pointing out what can be, could be, and usually being not bad in picking up the correct trends. Only trouble is, the site owner is a flaming fan of winter - can't be too cold for him, the "clean crisp -20°C air" type, and gets whiny about any vegetation day. A good indicator is that he's comparing everything to the averages from CLINO period 1961-1990, so everything seems too hot these days while I'm still suffering. But his analysis of what's to come is the best on the market.

So all I need is an AI, capable of German language, to rewrite his hopes to fears and his fear to hopes - do you know any?

Ah, December in Germany, the time when you - either silently or openly - curse the "friends of the winter weather" someone at the better weather sites seems to know and care for. Luckily, last night did not turn out as cold as predicted (-8°C), but -5° is bad enough and I don't think Kniphofia northiae
Height: 120-170 cm (3.9-5.6 ft)
Flower Colors: orange, yellow
Flower Season: early summer to mid summer
Life form:  rhizome
enjoyed that too much.

In the cold house the rare natural light shone on Strumaria prolifera
, and as much as I like the "The Amaryllidaceae of Southern Africa"-book, it is wrong here. I've started with a single bulb in 2020 and never saw seeds. They DO spread vegetatively.

Current Photographs / November 2023 photos

November  is a gamble in my climate - there are things still in flower like this Hedychium of which I'm not sure if its a pure deceptum or a hybrid, but the tropical look becomes more and more surreal with all the trees dropping leaves. Other things may or may not open up depending on if there's a warm and sunny day or not - luckily, this 1st was one, so there's Crocus melantherus
, Crocus pallasii
, Moraea polystachya
and a small golden Oxalis in flower.

Last one is not a geophyte, but Berkheya cirsiifolia may show how far off normal the weather is - this year continues to be a wild ride.

General Discussion / Kniphofia northii @ at SANBI
October 12, 2023, 11:31:07 PM
The South African National Biodiversity Institute has reached out to us to use a photo from our wiki in their "Plant of the Week" article series (thanks @Emil for coordination), and the final article is excellent, as always:

https://pza.sanbi.org/kniphofia-northiae


I'd like to add a bit to the horticultural side of things, growing it in southern Germany. Obviously, seasons are switched, here it flowers in mid to late May. For now it seems totally hardy, coldest winter temperatures it took without notable damage was a night of -12°C. I've grown mine from seed sown in 2017, had it overwintered frost free in that first year, and planted out ever since, as this monster will likely not take being pot-bound for long - pic 1 shows its first snow in December 2018. It started flowering in 2020, at a rather modest size, but now as of 2023 has become a huge, multi-headed clump, completely occupying an area of 1.20 meters diameter, but with leaves reaching another 50 cm in all directions - almost too much of a monster for my small garden. The flowers only last for about two weeks for me, but you'll have an impressive clump of wide leaves some people will mistake for an Agave for the rest of the year.

As mine is a single plant, it doesn't set seed - not even with the garden center "K. uvaria" (which most should be hybrids)  or Kniphofia pauciflora
Height: 45-60 cm (1.5-2 ft)
Flower Colors: yellow
Flower Season: mid spring to early summer
, which flowers around the same time (and is the other end, size-wise, of the Genus)

new month, new flowers...

First flower in the bog is Helonias bullata
Height: 10-30 cm (0.3-1 ft)
Flower Colors: pink
Flower Season: mid spring
Life form: evergreen rhizome
, which shoots its flowers higher day by day. Until recently I'd stated the bog is mostly care free besides the slugs, now I'm suffering from Blackbirds who found out how nice my sphagnum is in their nests. I'm thinking about chaining my cat to the bog....no, I'm not, but it could help with those blackbirds...

I've checked the image in the wiki and I guess I'll add this one for Bongardia chrysogonum
. They may be not spectacular, but they are much nicer hen shown there. Staying in the color scheme, there's Moraea marlothii
- nice closeup plant, in he total you'd see a 1 m long stick with a single and comparably tiny yellow flower on top. For a total, take tree peony Shima Daijin (not a Geophyte, but a wiki-plant) - happy it's not as hot as it has been in May in the last years, so it (yes, single plant) will look nice for more than 3 days - i hope.

Orchids seem to have entered the pink phase: there's my native Orchis mascula
Height: 45-60 cm (1.5-2 ft)
Flower Colors: pink, purple
Flower Season: late spring to early summer
Life form:  tuber
and, from the other side of the world (ancestor wise) Thelymitra 'Ron Heberle', which is a German hybrid of T. nuda and T. variegata by Beyrle. OK, Pink-blue-spottet-goldrimmed phase in that case. The fact that it's open should tell you that it was warm and sunny today - still nothing compared to earlier years, where we scraped 30°C  in the beginning of May.

Orders will be accepted during the four day time window after the list went online, closure will be announced in the forum. Distribution will then be at random so that everybody has the same chance to get the rare items in short supply.

As usual we have a time window over the weekend, ordering phase closes on Sunday, March 26th at 24:00h Central European Time. The closure will be announced on list and forum. Orders received within this period will be dealt with at random, so that everybody will have the same chance to get the rare and sought after items.

Please read the entire instructions carefully and please note, the the US Bulb and Seed exchanges have different dates but continue otherwise unchanged.
The donation phase for the EU exchange remains open as there will be a second round scheduled for April, details will be announced through the same channels

If you are not sure about your membership status or if you are tempted to join now, please get in touch with our treasurer Arnold Trachtenberg ( arnold140@verizon.net ).

The number of items you can order is not limited, you are allocated one portion of each ordered item but please refrain from asking "one of each" from this list.
As Brexit is now real and all grace periods are over, we sadly can not accept any orders from the UK.

Current Photographs / December photos 2022
December 10, 2022, 03:42:38 PM
no one wants to start the December topic? OK, its really not a good bulb month for southern Germany, but as we usually have a rather wide description: This it the state of my Kniphofia sarmentosa
Height: 60-90 cm (2-3 ft)
Flower Colors: red, orange
Flower Season: mid winter to mid spring
Climate: winter rain climate
in open ground - now with my climate, thats poker with a red-hot poker: Some years they flower in December, sometimes in March. Sometimes the flower gets killed of, sometimes a plant is reduced to regenerating back from root pieces - strange enough, they only suffer from cold when in flower - plants which don't flower that year are fine. So, the cold is soon to arrive according to the models - let's see what's the fate of this one...

General Discussion / Trying a few root crops
December 04, 2022, 04:16:14 AM
As I mentioned i the Coccinia topic before, I was trying out a few root crops this year.

The first one to harvest was Cyperus esculentus
Height: 45-60 cm (1.5-2 ft)
Flower Colors: green
Special: edible storage organ
, which I'd attest a delicious hazelnut-like flavor eaten raw & fresh and good yield even though I only planted one pot, see wiki. Seems to be one to keep, but has the reputation of becoming invasive easily - it doesn't flower in my climate, so I'll just have to be careful about discarded potting soil...

I've also tried Tropaeolum tuberosum
Flower Colors: orange, yellow, red
Flower Season: late summer
Special: climber, edible flowers, edible storage organ
- I like the taste of the fresh tubers, somewhere close to Tropaeolum major leaves, whereas the Tropaeolum tuberosum leaves are nowhere near as intense. Yield was diminishing though, see attached. The plants started growing when planted in may, then went nearly completely dormant for my hot summer, to return to growth in September - I harvested ahead if the first freezing end of November. They never even tried to flower, so I guess that one is not ideal for my hot summer climate.

Oxalis tuberosa
had an acceptable yield, though I've heard it gets bigger the longer the growth phase in short day conditions is. haven't tried to cook it, but raw they are delicious, somewhat like mild rhubarb. Keeper, I'd guess. Has anyone experience with eating the parts overground?

Yacón Smallanthus sonchifolius
- can't say too much about the yield, because those came potted, but it's obvious that those roots didn't originally fit in 11 cm pots. With them, too, I noticed a pause in growth during the very hot phases and a boost in September, I harvested them end of November. For now I only tried a piece of root from the white one, and found it bland tasting - watery with a hint of dahlia petals - not what I expected from something advertised as "underground fruit". They are said to sweeten in storage, so I'll wait for a final verdict, but for now I'm not impressed. No flowers, but that seems normal for my area.

Olluco (Ullucus tuberosus
) was a faillure - a few leaves, somewhat late, and I think one or two "color balls" of yield ( I planted 7 ).

All in all I guess the South American species don't tollerate my heat and are not too happy with my cold. I should search other possible origins for better fitting underground crops. Sidenote to the North American Helianthus tuberosus
Height: 150-300 cm (4.9-9.8 ft)
Flower Colors: yellow
Flower Season: mid autumn to late autumn
Special: edible storage organ
Life form: deciduous tuber
: yield is massive, hardiness is good, taste is ok when raw and not my thing cooked. I removed them last year due to taking up too much space.

October 21, 2022, 12:54:45 AM
Hi all,

In a fit of "try everything remotely geophytic" I helped myself to seeds of Coccinia abyssinica in spring. two actually germinated, and I planted them out into a mortar bucket after last frost with Tigridia pavonia
Height: 45-80 cm (1.5-2.6 ft)
Flower Colors: white, red, yellow, pink, orange, patterned
Special: edible storage organ
Life form: deciduous bulb
Climate: USDA Zone 8-9
, mostly because I wanted to add some "vertical interest" to it. Actually, the plants had a big slug problem, one disappeared quickly, the other a few months later (July?) without growing very big. I thought I had lost it, but when I pulled the Tigridias for winter, I found the longer surviving plant has formed a tuber, roughly 4 cm in diameter.

Has anyone any idea how to grow this on or should I just eat it? The plant seems to be an important food crop in the Ethiopian highlands. Researching the climate there I'm at least unsurprised the tuber withstood the well-watered conditions for the tigridias - Nekemte has a yearly precipitation of almost 2000 mm /79 Inches. I guess the heat has forced it underground, but cooling down hasn't restarted it.

 I'm aware that a single survivor of a dioecious species isn't perfect. I think I have a few seeds left, when should I start them?

The October EU 2022 bulb and seed exchange (BX) is now open for orders, as usual we have a time window over the weekend, ordering phase closes on Monday October 17th at 24:00h Central European Time. The closure will be announced on list and forum. Orders received within this period will be dealt with at random, so that everybody will have the same chance to get the rare and sought after items.

Please read the entire instructions carefully and please note, the the US Bulb and Seed exchanges have different dates but continue otherwise unchanged.
The donation phase is closed until our spring exchange which will be announced in time.

Please remember, that only fully paid members can order from this exchange. If you are not sure about your membership status or if you are tempted to join now, please get in touch with our treasurer Arnold Trachtenberg ( arnold140@verizon.net ). You do not need to be a donor to be entitled to order from this list but maybe you will become a donor in the future? The number of items you can order is not limited, you are allocated one portion of each ordered item but please refrain from asking "one of each" from this extensive list.
As Brexit is now real and all grace periods are over, we sadly can not accept any orders from the UK.
PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS LIST OR THE FORUM WHEN ORDERING BUT SEND A NEW EMAIL or Forum PM TO MARTIN BOHNET IN GERMANY: ( garak@code-garak.de ) He is the director of the EU Seed and Bulb Exchange. Your order cannot be dealt with if you send it to the list by using the reply button.

And please do not forget to let Martin have your postal address.

Pricing and Payment

Seeds are 2 US$ per portion, bulbs cost 3 US$. Very big or very rare bulbs may be more expensive. Left over seed from previous exchanges (numbers EX04_??? and EX03_??? ) are offered at a reduced price of 1US$. Postage is added to your order at cost. Please wait with your payment until you received your order, it will contain a payment slip with the sum due in US-Dollars. If you are a donor your credit will be deducted.

Payment for the EU BX can only be made in US Dollars and only through PayPal. As PayPal has changed the conditions for foreign payments, you MUST go though the Pay-Pal payment form on the PBS website. Please go to the bottom of the Bulb Exchange page and fill in the payment form at https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbsforum/index.php?page=BXpay It is a tremendous help for our treasurer if you do not forget to put in the BX-Number and your name. Please wait with payment until you have received your order.

Nerine Special:
For this EU BX we have a very special offer as a once only chance. Nick and Lionel de Rothschild have generously donated  a large number of bulbs from the famous Exbury Nerine Collection for the EU BX. https://www.nerines.com/. On behalf of the membership we express our gratitude.

I (Uli) have visited the greenhouses at Exbury in September and although it was too early to see the flowers it was very impressive. Lionel de Rothschild and Theo Herselman, the gardener in charge showed me round and shared their  enthusiasm for these bulbs.
All bulbs on offer are Nerine sarniensis Hybrids. At Exbury each clone gets a number at a certain stage, it is worthwhile to keep the clonal number for future reference. There are also many bulbs which are a mixture of non-numbered clones. No further information on the clone numbers is available, so you will receive a surprise pack.  At Exbury, there is a continuous breeding and selecting process going on.
Nerine sarniensis is an obligate winter grower and does not tolerate any frost. The bulbs do not like root disturbance, at Exbury they are pot grown and repotted every 3 or 4 years only. The bulbs on offer are not of flowering size.
As they are about to sprout, they need immediate planting on receipt, best after an overnight (but not longer than that) soak in water at room temperature.

In this special case we allow multiple orders of the Nerines - you will receive at least one different numbered clone per item of the following EX code number (and likely a lot more as the whole offered set will be distributed - no leftovers!

General Discussion / Summer growing Ferrarias
September 16, 2022, 11:55:05 PM
Ever since I found out about them, I've been very intrigued about the central African summer growing Ferrarias - growing more like something from tribe Tigridieae, though of course without the pleated leaves. Originally treated as one species, Ferraria glutinosa, there are now 4 species accepted. Genetically, they seem basal to all the winter growers, forming subgenus Glutinoseae

from Bothalia 41,1: 1–40 (2011) Systematics and biology of the African genus Ferraria (Iridaceae:
Irideae)
P GOLDBLATT and J C MANNING

1a Anthers with filament insertion in lower third and lobes parallel and usually contiguous above filament insertion when fully dehisced;
capsules globose- to ovoid-truncate or acute or beaked in one species; perianth with tepal claws usually forming a shallow cup and
bearing prominent nectaries 1/3to 1/2 as long as claw; stigmas minute, terminal on apices of style branch arms (subgen Glutinosae and
sect Ferraria):
   2a Upper internodes below flower clusters with sticky exudate; ovary ovoid, short, < 10 mm long; capsules ovoid to globose and truncate
(subgen Glutinosae):
     3a Leaves several (up to 8) in basal fan; rhipidia with outer spathe 1/3 to 1/4 as long as inner 2 F. candelabrum
     3b Leaves absent at base of flowering stem or 1–4 basal; rhipidia with outer spathe 1/3 to slightly more than 1/2 as long as inner:
         4a Flowers brown or dark purple, sometimes marked with yellow near tepal limb bases; tepal limbs often with buff to yellow margins; flowering plants usually with 1–4 basal foliage leaves, or foliage leaves reduced; filament column 8–11 mm long; flowering (Dec –)Jan –Mar (–May) 1 F. glutinosa
         4b Flowers yellow to buff, limbs sometimes speckled with brown, dark red, purple or dull green spots; tepal limb margins not contrasting in colour; flowering plants lacking foliage leaves at base and branches subtended by sheathing leaves without blades;
filament column 5 0–7 5 mm long; flowering (Sept –)Oct to Dec (–early Jan ):
              5a Tepal limbs speckled with dark colour and margins obviously crisped; style branch arms prominently fringed 4 F. welwitschii
              5b Tepal limbs uniformly yellow and margins plane or slightly undulate; style branch arms entire (not fringed) and arching outward
3 F. spithamea





Usually, my Ferraria welwitschii
Height: 30-45 cm (1-1.5 ft)
Flower Colors: yellow, brown, patterned
Flower Season: early summer
s flower in early summer and wilt until mid to late summer, having a quite short growth period and barely holding their size - they seem also self sterile, so I was halfway accepting to loose them, as my only source was Brexited away from me. This year though, there were no flowers in early summer, and the leaves are still fresh and green - and now there's a flower stalk, with flowers more substantial and noticeably darker than the early ones - compare picture 3 to the other ones. I really wonder what caused the change (suggestions welcome - the summer was hot and dry, something I'd expect to drive plants towards dormancy, not keeping them from it) - and sincerely hope they've gained substance through this. And of course I'm trying to microvwave them now.

Does anyone have any of the 4 summer species or know any source for them? My welwitschii is from Paul Christian /Rare Plants UK.

General Discussion / Gesneriads with bulbils ?
August 28, 2022, 10:16:04 AM
Look what's growing on one of my NoId Achimenes varieties near the base of a flower stalk - that looks a lot like their rhizomes so is it a bulbil-type of thing? is that common in Gensneriads?? (Second pic is a repost of the corresponding flower)

[Posting for Bridget]
Hello,

Below is a list of bulbs available for BX 482 - open until July 26 at 9:00
p.m. (PST).

Kindly note the following

Please send me an email directly at Bulbexpbs@gmail.com with a list of the number(s) and name(s) of the bulbs you wish to receive.
I also require your full name and mailing address.
You must be a current member to order. If you are unsure if you are current
with your membership, please reach out to Jane McGary at
janemcgary@earthlink.net.  Please also assure that you are not in arrears
for previous BX or SX fees.  You can check in with Arnold Trachtenberg at
arnold140@verizon.net for exchange balances.  I cannot honor those who have
outstanding balances.
Lottery system is in play for this BX.  If requesting several bulbs, please
let me know those you wish to receive in order of desire. If necessary, I
will utilize my discretion to try to see that everyone gets at least some
of their requests. Many of the bulbs offered are singles or very few.
I am not yet affixing labels to the envelopes. You will need to refer to
this post/email to determine what you received.  I will write a number on
the envelope/bag for your reference.
Each bulb sent (or envelope with multiples) will be $3 except the
Colchicum (#1) which will be offered at $5 per offer.
For our new members who have not yet participated in an exchange: I will
reply that I am in receipt of your email.  Upon distribution, you will
receive a box with your allocated bulbs and the receipt with the amount you
owe. That receipt has instructions on payment.  Please attend to payment as
soon as possible so we may mark your account current.

One of the pages of the wiki that always needs a lot of updates and maintenance is the list of bulb and seed sources. I'd like to have this topic as an input form for that site to keep it up to date and well filled. As the wiki page already states:

QuoteWe excluded catalogs that resell bulbs and seeds grown by big mass-market firms (they are very capable of promoting themselves), companies that have recently generated a significant number of unresolved complaints among our members, and companies that are known to dig wild bulbs for sale (the only exception is rescue missions where bulbs are about to be destroyed by development).

So obviously it's not a good idea for everyone with a wiki writing access to blindly add sources without a pre-discussion here.

I have a few ideas to add

Category Bulbs Europe:

https://www.myorchids.de/  good list of otherwise nearly impossible to obtain terrestrial orchids with a focus on Australian genera like Diuris, Thelymitra and Pterostylis from well documented nursery origin. The list is updated once a year in June, with some species shipped in July, others in October. Dr Beyrle is a known mycorrhizza specialist.  The only question is: will we add a source highly specialized on a side-topic?

Category seeds Europe

https://wildflowerseeds.eu/ Wild collected seeds from all over the world, including a good selection of monocotyledons. Quality and germination is good in my experience, but I'm a bit worried about the wild origin.

Other entries may require an update - rareplants.co.uk still doesn't ship to EU though they still try to keep the hope up, and is there still remaining activity at Bulb'Argance? Please offer your input.

As I love to cultivate plants people won't expect outdoors in my area, I've started to grow cacti in the open garden in southern Germany. As  so often with our bulbs, drainage is key, and as I relocated the path from gate to front door to a more shady area (can't have the "premium places" along the south wall plastered ;) ) I kept a part of the gravel base intact, so there's now a 60 cm deep well drained bed - deep enough to even tolerate some fill up in the gravel in very rainy winters. It also houses my borderline hardy bulbs like Scilla peruviana
, Prospero autumnale
, Acis species and Moraea ochroleuca
, as well as Anacamptis pyramidalis
Height: 30-60 cm (1-2 ft)
Flower Colors: pink, purple
Flower Season: late spring to early summer
Life form:  tuber
, Anacamptis x gennarii
Height: 20-30 cm (0.7-1 ft)
Flower Colors: pink, purple, white
Flower Season: late spring to early summer
Life form:  tuber
and Gymnadenia odoratissima
Height: 30-60 cm (1-2 ft)
Flower Colors: pink
Flower Season: early summer
.

When people think of hardy outdoor cacti, most will start with Opuntia species in mind, but 've actually got better results with globose cacti: The first one to flower is always Echinocereus viridiflora some time in May, depending on the year, followed by E. triglochidatus and E. coccineus. E. reichenbachii is actually a small column and the one I'm sure won't survive permanently, as the mechanical tension on the base is increasing every year. Of course it isn't all Echinocereus: Escobaria vivipara also proved reliable.

Mystery Bulbs / Tiny yellow stars

those came up in two different pots - one of which is of a plant I bought last fall? they are either very fast from seed, or something I put in there totally absent minded?

Does not smell like onion (or maybe only faintly so), and opens up in the evening. produces more than one stalk per bulb
