Dear Members living in the EU!

The second  round of this year's spring exchange (EX08b) is now open for orders. The time window for ordering will close on April 28th at 24:00 Central European Time.
Every fully paid member of the PBS with a postal address in the EU can order from the seeds and bulbs on offer. You do not need to be a donor to be entitled to order. There is no limit of how many positions from the list you can request, but you are only allocated one portion of each item. Please refrain from ordering "one of each" of the offerings. You can still join the PBS if you are tempted....

Please send your request by e-mail directly to Martin Bohnet, who is the director of the EU Bulb and Seed Exchange. Please do NOT send your request to the forum or the email list, these requests cannot be served. Please make sure you do not use the reply button when sending your request.

Martin's e-mail: garak@code-garak.de

PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR MAILING ADDRESS WITH YOUR ORDER; IT SAVES MARTIN A LOT OF CORRESPONDENCE IF YOU DO.......

Orders will be accepted during the three 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.

Each portion of seed will be charged 2 US $, each portion of bulbs will be 3 US $. For very big/heavy/rare bulbs this may be doubled. Postage will be added at cost, converted into US $. Leftovers from the last two exchanges are also offered at a reduced price of 1 $ per package.

Payment for items from the EU-BX can only be made by PayPal in US Dollars to the PayPal account of the Pacific Bulb Society. Please make sure that the PBS receives the amount due in US Dollars. Please go to the bottom of the Bulb Exchange page and fill in the details and continue. It guides you directly on to your PayPal account. No cheques or credit cards can be accepted. Enclosed in the order, every recipient will receive a payment slip showing the details, please wait with any payment until you have received your order.

The next round of EU exchanges will be in fall - Please do not send in materials before we open the donation phase in late summer.

Again, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Uli Urban:johannes-ulrich-urban@t-online.de
Happy growing!

Uli and Martin

Quote from: Too Many Plants! on April 18, 2024, 03:08:52 PMMoraea Ochroleuca ? Just found out from the gifter of the bulbs that these are hybrids of the Homeria complex, with multiple generations of growing together open pollination hybridizing.

Looks a bit different than my yellow flowered version.
Looks completely like what I got from Lauw as M. ochroleuca aurantica  - which could of course also be a hybrid. it does set seeds like mad, though.

@Diane Whitehead "hover" is the magic word here - just let your mouse pointer linger on the thumbnail, don't click.

@Too Many Plants! that Moraea polyanthos
somehow looks like the missing link between the Homeria- and Iris style forms. Quite interesting.

@Diane Whitehead you can actually "quote" someone's pictures even if they are not included in the post directly - all you need is the image ID (you'll get that by hovering over the thumbnail, the number after "attach=" and then use it like this:

[attach id=6188 width=300]Too many's pic[/attach]
Not a valid attachment ID.


As we had a few more outright hot days here, things progress quickly, like the double Tulip cultivar "Brisbane", opening up yellow-green and getting a peach color over one week. Funny enough, these proved to be far more direct sunlight tolerant than most single tulips which just burned over a few days.

Another sunny souvenir from Bulb'argance is this Moraea ochroleuca
aurantica, while Allium karataviense
Life form:  bulb
subsp. henrikii hails from Janis Ruksans, and Lachenalia suaveolens
originates from Uli in EX07. The wiki-praised carnation scent seems to be only feint for me, but maybe my nose is spoiled from the Muscaris.

Last time I promised outdoor orchids, so here we go with Orchis mascula
Height: 45-60 cm (1.5-2 ft)
Flower Colors: pink, purple
Flower Season: late spring to early summer
Life form:  tuber
, followed by Cypripedium Barry Phillips
Height: 30-45 cm (1-1.5 ft)
Flower Colors: yellow, green
Flower Season: late spring to early summer
Climate: USDA Zone 5-8
and Calanthe tricarinata
Height: 20-30 cm (0.7-1 ft)
Flower Colors: green, brown
- that one was only planted in fall so we'll see how they deal with a full growth cycle, not just the very mild winter.

General Discussion / Re: Private exchanges
April 15, 2024, 10:44:44 AM
I guess I'm a lot more open for unusual stuff, like e.g. Carlos' Pyrenees-collected seeds though most of them were more NARGS material than bulbs - sometimes that means that I send back particularly precious leftovers to the donor. For now I refrain from banning certain species, as some seem to come in waves - Freesia laxa
is one example which actually has become rare-ish after being totally abundant in the beginning.

one clue for the EX is the PDF linked in this article -anything listed as "very rare" has definitely been totally used when offered, as the re-offerings on the following 2 exchanges end up included in the evaluation. A caveat for the "when to expect new" value in that list: the Château donations are offered independently from seasonal availability and thus may distort this information a little.

PS: i don't link the pdf directly so I'll only have to update one link when updating the data (as I will soon after EX08b)

Quote from: David Pilling on April 13, 2024, 11:01:05 AMAs Babs, Ginger and the gang said
So in the next step we'll have to marry a soccer player and develop him into a style icon? oh dear.

At least I can tell (not exactly you, Brexit, but anyway) if there are bushels of seed, give them to the established public exchange. The "microexchanges" are meant for stuff so rare and few you want to have some control over who gets it. That's where the Griffinias come onto play...

Of course my favorite order is Asparagales, and boy do they deliver these days... Muscari are everywhere, but of course in the gardens around it's very rarely Muscari macrocarpum
- the somewhat fluffy double form of debateable descent here in background actually is much more common - one of those easily clonable mass products. But macrocarpum and the sister species M. muscarimi have their intense perfume that really brings you too your knees.

In the pots it's orchid time again - both the first Pleiones and Anacamptis papilionacea
Height: 30-45 cm (1-1.5 ft)
Flower Colors: pink, purple
Flower Season: mid spring
put on their show - but a lot more will soon happen in the garden if the heatwave goes on.

The alliums are active, too - Allium paradoxum
var normale always makes me wonder if there's an Allium absurdum var plausibile around...but of course Allium egoroveae is a lot more rare. Also part of the tribe is of course Ipheion uniflorum
, here a lovely bluish form which seems to be better behaved than the pinkish forms...

Last but not least: the Irids - this time in the form of Moraea vegeta
and, as the evening settles in, Hesperantha bachmannii
, another wonderful perfume drifting through the garden.

Ah, yes, that time of the year... funny how it's so powerful both in Mediterranean and temperate climate. As it's been a few days since I posted, there's a lot to catch up on:

let's start with Ranunculales - that's Ficaria verna
Height: 0-10 cm (0-3.9 inch)
Flower Colors: yellow
Flower Season: early spring to mid spring
Life form:  tuber
Climate: USDA Zone 5-8
"Copper knob" and a unspecified double form of Anemonoides ranuncoloides mixing. On the Berberidaceae branch of the order, here's Bongardia chrysogonum
(here in front of Iberis).

On the classic end of the Tulipa palette there's Tulipa sylvestris
- quite a distance to blue parrot, which I added especially for you @David Pilling.  Again close to the Tulips are of course Erythronium - I think that's a hybrid....

Speaking about hybrids, here's a direct comparison of Tropaeolum tricolor
and its hybrid with brachyceras...

Last one is a Asarum I grew from seed - I didn't plant it out because I a) don't remember the exact species (looks like a white caudatum, but I'm rather unsure here) and b) I had trouble keeping the slugs off it even when potted.

I am so tired about this Scilla discussion. Kew's PoWo and Inaturalist conserve Scilla peruviana. Besides my usual complaint (there's a valid double m Oncostemma in Asclepioideae) i'm just done with authors finding the needed number of peer reviewers in their faction to overwrite this or that, being far from any system wide consent. For now, Kew's the authority most people accept. and they're keeping Scilla peruviana as of now.

But there are lighter topics. Light sky blue like Corydalis fumariifolia
which hasn't been as impressed by early warm temperatures as many other species. It's not tuberous cousin Corydalis heterocarpa was first a bit shy in the garden, now it seeds around a lot (ants, as always with corydalis), finding places more suitable then where I planted it first.
Third one is Fritillaria reuteri
, shining bright in the sun. Another sun lover, though in a container is Anacamptis papilionacea
Height: 30-45 cm (1-1.5 ft)
Flower Colors: pink, purple
Flower Season: mid spring
, subspecies messenica if my records are right. Next one is the opposite of a sun lover: Asarum caudatum
hides in the shadows, despite being a flower giant compared to my local Asarum europaeum
.
Speaking about hiding: last one is my resurfaced Iris bucharica - years ago, the clump was suffocated by my huge tree peonie. I transplanted, but there seemed to be no survivors - until this one opened up a few days ago.

So, everything is on the road now - whatever this may mean on such a holiday-drenched weekend.

Please remember: Donation is still open for a second distribution roughly 4 weeks ahead.
#11
A little Update on the shipping: Due to technical issues, the on-demand-seeds from the Château are currently stranded in Marseille, it's unclear how long the delay will be.

All packages without seeds between EX08_065 and EX08_294 are on their way.  The invoices contain now a QR-code leading to a pre-filled payment site, so name, comment, amount and SX number are already filled in the form at the correct positions - please report if there are any problems with this system.

"conchiflora" Sweet was never valid. Molseed lists it among others like T. oxypetala R. Morris, T. speciosa Poit or T. grandiflora Salisb., which all have been descriptions of random emergence of recessive genes in cultivated populations of T. pavonia. There's also a set of names spooking around horticulture until this day, usually as T. pavonia var x with x=

Aureua = gold
Canariensis = light yellow
Lilacina = pink
Speciosa =red
Alba = white


That said, there can of course be a certain cultivar, but unless it's genetically stable like "alba immaculata" I'm not sure if a genetic individual could survive that long. I have no idea if the "Sunset in Oz" cultivar Mary Sue Ittner shows descendants from in the 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
article still exists somewhere - if it was, the plants CAN get old on their own, but actually it is not unusual enough have the "orange through pink scattered pigments on yellow base color" form for safely identifying that cultivar.

Dear Members living in the EU!

The first round of this year's spring exchange (EX08) is now open for orders. The time window for ordering will close on March 24th at 24:00 Central European Time.
Every fully paid member of the PBS with a postal address in the EU can order from the seeds and bulbs on offer. You do not need to be a donor to be entitled to order. There is no limit of how many positions from the list you can request, but you are only allocated one portion of each item. Please refrain from ordering "one of each" of the offerings. You can still join the PBS if you are tempted....

There will be a second round of the spring exchange about a month later, the donation for bulbs and seed remains open until further notice.

Please send your request by e-mail directly to Martin Bohnet, who is the director of the EU Bulb and Seed Exchange. Please do NOT send your request to the forum or the email list, these requests cannot be served. Please make sure you do not use the reply button when sending your request.

Martin's e-mail: garak@code-garak.de
PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR MAILING ADDRESS WITH YOUR ORDER; IT SAVES MARTIN A LOT OF CORRESPONDENCE IF YOU DO.......
Orders will be accepted during the three 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.


Each portion of seed will be charged 2 US $, each portion of bulbs will be 3 US $. For very big/heavy/rare bulbs this may be doubled. Postage will be added at cost, converted into US $. Leftovers from the last two exchanges are also offered at a reduced price of 1 $ per package.


Payment for items from the EU-BX can only be made by PayPal in US Dollars to the PayPal account of the Pacific Bulb Society. Please make sure that the PBS receives the amount due in US Dollars. Please go to the bottom of the Bulb Exchange page and fill in the details and continue. It guides you directly on to your PayPal account. No cheques or credit cards can be accepted. Enclosed in the order, every recipient will receive a payment slip showing the details, please wait with any payment until you have received your order.

Again, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Uli Urban:johannes-ulrich-urban@t-online.de
Happy growing!

Uli and Martin

My (sadly deceased last fall) "Albuca spiralis" looked flower&spike wise very similar, but was somewhat spiralled even in my dark falls - see here https://www.flickr.com/photos/150325868@N06/23716684398/in/album-72157677456980444/ . Hard to believe that a spiralis in Spain would be so straight.

on the other hand, that hardcore curling and compact growth of that "fizzle sizzle" cultivar seen advertised was like a very different plant. a tetraploid, maybe?
