From Diana Chapman:
16. Bomarea caldasii: They should be sown soon for best germination.
Germination usually occurs in 6-10 weeks. Mostly summer growing, but can
grow year-round in mild winter regions. Should not be allowed to dry out
even during dormancy.
17. Bomarea salsilla: Sow before about October, then keep moist. It will
germinate in mid to late winter. B. salsilla grows on a Mediterranean
cycle, and dies back in late summer, so when your seedlings do this they are
not dying. The plants usually re-emerge in about February. They can be kept
dry while dormant, but also tolerate moisture during dormancy.
BULBS:
From Cathy Craig:
18. Small bulbs of Lilium 'Casa Rosa'
Thank you, Dylan, Diana, and Cathy !!
Best wishes,
Dell
