too, in case I don't already have it. Availability is based on a first come,

included with them, a statement of how much money (usually $2.00/share of

treasurer to defray our costs for packing and first-class, priority-mail, or
international postage.

From Jim Shields:

1. Seeds of Crinum bulbispermum, hardy, [Mrs. Morris #2121 x Mrs. Jordan Red
#2119]

2. Seeds of Crinum bulbispermum, hardy, [Mrs. Jordan Red #2119 x Mrs. Morris
#2121]

The flowers of both Crinum parents are very similar, white with red 
bands.  The mature bulbs are hardy outdoors here in the open.  They even 
seed around a bit in the bed, with a few volunteer seedlings coming up 
through the mulch.

Crinums that are hardy outdoors in the ground here in central Indiana 
generally have to have bulbs at least 2 inches in diameter when planted out 
in order to survive the first winter.  We also mulch them heavily in autumn 
for at least the first two winters they are in the ground.  Some of these 
seeds may turn out to be hardier than that.

3. A few seeds of Hymenocallis guerreroensis

From Mark Mazer:

4. Seeds of Trillium foetidissimum
5. Seed of Pinellia tripartita var atropurpurea, ex Hornig
6. Seed of Crinum bulbispermum, ex Herb Kelly's "jumbo mix"

Thank you, Jim and Mark !!

Best wishes,
Dell
