Dear All,
The items listed below have been donated by our members to be shared.
If you are interested in obtaining some of them, please email me PRIVATELY
at <dells@voicenet.com>. Include "BX 146" in the subject line.
Specify the NUMBERS of the items which you would like; do not
specify quantities. It is a good idea to include your snail mail address,
too, in case I don't already have it. 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 (usually $2.00/item)
(cash, check, or Pay Pal to <Arnold@NJ.rr.com>; no money orders, please) you
should send the PBS treasurer to defray our costs for packing and postage.
PLEASE NOTE: NEW POSTAL-RATE SCHEMES NECESSITATE OUR PLACING A SURCHARGE ON
EACH ORDER FROM PBS BX OFFERINGS.
Some of you are members of the online PBS discussion forum but are 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:

If you would like to donate seeds or bulbs/corms to the PBS,(Donors
will receive credit on the BX for the cost of postage for their donations.),
please send CLEAN, clearly labeled material to:

I WILL REPLY TO YOU WITHIN 24 HRS OF MY RECEIPT OF YOUR ORDER.
IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM ME, TRY AGAIN !!
From Mary Sue Ittner and Alan Horstmann:
1. Already sprouting seed of Brunsvigia orientalis (Needs to be planted
immediately.)
2. Already sprouting seed of Strumaria truncata. (Needs to be planted
immediately.)
3. Small Oxalis bulbs originally received from Uli Urban, sp. L96/42,
probably Oxalis magnifica, summer growing.
4. Small corms of Cyanella lutea (winter growing when it grows) that have
spent several years underground, and I am suspecting might want to live in a
warmer climate.
From Eugene Zielinski:
5. Seed of Zephyranthes atamasco, collected from a colony in South Carolina.
From Cynthia Mueller:
6. Seed of Hippeastrum glaucescens. Cynthia says, "For collectors only - not
a handsome flower. Reminiscent of H. mandonii. From Yucca Do, probably from
Mauro Peixoto."
7. Seed of "Giant Rain Lily," from several geographical locations in Central
Texas.
From an anonymous donor:
8. Corms (?) of Alocasia 'Hilo Beauty' which is probably an Anthurium not
an Alocasia.
9. Seed of Clivia , it looks like a scarlet Clivia x cyrtanthiflora
From Joe Shaw:
10. Crinum seeds: Totally mixed Jumbos (all colors except dark rose) x open
pollinated. NOTE: these are the mixed jumbos that were offered on BX 144,
but I did not receive them in time to fill orders from that BX, so I will
send them out with BX 146. If you requested them before, there is no need to
do so again. If you didn't request them and would like to, there are plenty.
And still available from BX 145 (which was mailed out on Tuesday):
11. Seed of Adenium obesum? from a red-flowered cross, a caudiciform member
of the Apocynaceae
12. Seed of Adenia glauca, a caudiciform member of the Passifloraceae
13. Seed of Canna indica
14. Seed of Crinum bulbispermum 'Album' from Al Sisk: "The seed that I have
forwarded to you are from field grown Bulbispermum Alba. My web site at
http://www.crinum.us/cb2.htm details information related to this variety."
15. Seed of Allium schubertii
Thank you, Alan, Mary Sue, Gene, Cynthia, Joe, Anonymous, and others !!
Best wishes,
