Dear All,
The items listed below have been donated by people from all over the
world, to be shared. If you are interested in obtaining some of them, please
email me PRIVATELY at <dells@voicenet.com>. Include "BX 67" in the subject
line. Specify the NUMBERS of the items which you would like; do not specify
quantities. Availability is based on a first come, first served system.
When you receive your seeds/bulbs you will find, included with them, a
statement of how much money (cash or check) you should send the PBS
treasurer to defray our costs for packing and first-class postage. It is a
good idea to include your snail mail address too, in case I don't already
have it.
Some of you are members of the PBS discussion forum but not members of
the Pacific Bulb Society. THIS BX OFFERING IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO MEMBERS OF
THE PBS. Consider joining the PBS so that you can take advantage of future
offers such as this. Go to our website: <http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/> . Or
contact me at dells@voicenet.com
If you would like to donate seeds or bulbs/corms to the PBS, please send
CLEAN, clearly labeled material to: Dell Sherk, PO Box 224, Holicong, PA,
18928, USA. Donors will receive credit on the BX for the cost of postage for
their donations.
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL REPLY TO YOU WITHIN 24 HRS OF MY RECEIPT OF YOUR
ORDER..
IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM ME, TRY AGAIN !!
From Dell Sherk:
1. Seed of Allium rotundum var jajlae (also known as A. scorodoprasum),
narrow glaucous leek-like leaves, pinkish-purple flowers in late spring in 3
cm umbels.
2.
and 3.
Seed from two clearly different plants. One was from Jack Elliott's seed
identified as Paradisea liliastrum. The other is from Robb Smith's seed
identified as Anthericum liliago. However, the tags are lost, and I don't
know which is which. The one which I will call 2. P. liliastrum is larger,
and the flowers are more zygomorphic and less evenly trumpet-shaped than
those of the other plant which I will call 3. A. liliago. Both survived last
winter temps down close to O F. Confused yet?
From Mary Sue Ittner:
Seed:
4. Calochortus nitidus--winter growing, but not from a Medit climate and may
tolerate and like occasional summer water
5. Cyclamen creticum--winter growing, fresh seed
6. Cyclamen pseuibericum--winter growing, fresh seed
7. Gladiolus angustus--tall, creamy flowers, sometimes marked in summer,
plant
fall
8. Lachenalia latifolia--winter growing
9. Leucocoryne vittae--winter growing, gorgeous flowers in spring (see wiki)
and easiest one for me to get to flower in Northern California
10. Massonia pustulata--fall blooming, winter growing, may not have
pustulate
leaves
11. Moraea lurida--winter growing, yellow flowers, but could have lurid
colors
in the genes
12. Phaedranassa sp.-- grown from seed to flower from plants purchased as P.
carmioli, winged seed, plant soon, float or inserted sideways in soil
(however you plant those kind of seeds) (See Mary Sue's recent post about
this plant and see her photos on the wiki)
Thank you, Mary Sue !!
Best wishes,
Dell
