From Mary Sue Ittner:
BULBS:
1. Calochortus argillosus
2. Calochortus, unknown species, probably a mix of kinds that offset.
3. Romulea bulbocodium, received from Jane as Romulea nivalis, but I think
is just a form of R. bulbocodium
4. Triteleia hyacinthina cormlets
5. Triteleia laxa 'Queen Fabiola' cormlets
6. Triteleia peduncularis cormlets
SEED (all winter growing unless noted otherwise):
7. Allium hyalinum
8. Allium membranaceum
9. Allium subvillosum
10. Brodiaea jolonensis
11. Calochortus syntrophus
12. Erythronium californicum
13. Fritillaria pontica
14. Geissorhiza heterostyla (few)
15. Geissorhiza imbricata
16. Geissorhiza monanthos
17. Geissorhiza radians - this is one of the most beautiful Irids
18. Gladiolus undulatus - this one has spread itself around a bit in
Australia, but hasn't really done that in California
19. Lapeirousia corymbosa - erratic bloomer, but lovely when it blooms
20. Leucocoryne vittata (open pollinated so could be hybrids)
21. Narcissus rupicola (few seeds)
22. Nothoscordum sp., I had this one on the Mystery Bulbs page, but no one
could help me identify it. It was received as N. ostenii, but has white
flowers and is large. I've added pictures on the wiki on the Nothoscordum
page
23. Ornithogalum thyrsoides
24. Pelargonium capillare, not a bulb and only a few seeds, but here is a
picture of it I'll add temporarily to the wiki. It has pretty pink flowers
in spring, low growing:

25. Polianthes geminiflora (Bravoa geminiflora) - summer growing and
flowering
26. Romulea kamisensis
27. Romulea sladenii (few)
28. Sisyrinchium macrocarpon, relatively quick from seed with yellow flowers
and interesting seed pods
29. Triteleia bridgesii
30. Triteleia hyacinthina
31. Veltheimia bracteata
32. Watsonia coccinea
Thank you, Mary Sue !!
Best wishes,
