Dear all, I am looking for bulbs or seeds of the various Sprekelia "species" for breeding experiments. these are things I sdtarted 25 years ago and lost. I want to rebuild my Sprekelia germplasm collection and do some new breeding. I have S. formosissima 'Orient Red' (a.k.a. 'Harrison's Orientred') and a very few offsets of S. howardii as well as Haemanthus, Scadoxus, Hippeastrum, Crinum, Nerine, etc. species to offer in trade. Or I will purchase. I am looking especially for bulbs of Sprekelia 'Peru' , S. glauca, and some of the early Thad Howard hybrids or selections from S. formosissima. Wild collected seeds from Sprekelia formosissima would be of great interest also. Please contact me off-list at <jshields@indy.net> or telephone 317-896-3925 (home).
