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/share of
seeds or $3 -$5/ share of bulbs)(cash, check, or Pay Pal to

treasurer.

From Mary Sue Ittner: (BULBS)

1. Ledebouria cooperi - a small summer grower from South Africa
2. Oxalis sp. from Uli -- collected in Oaxaca, Mexico. It is summer growing
and blooming.
3. Polianthes gemiflora - syn Bravoa geminiflora - summer growing and
flowering

From Jim Waddick:

4. Bulbs of Zephyranthes candida        This is the starter drug for Rain 
lily fans. Among the easiest, most vigorous and available of all rain 
lilies. Single white 6 petal flowers appear by 'magic' during and 
after summer rain. Very easy. Hrdiness? Zone 6/7

From Nhu Nguyen:

BULBS:
5. Oxalis tetraphylla 'Iron Cross' - this is one of those widespread plants
with nice leaves and prolific flowers. It is larger so it can be grown in
the ground with other landscaping plants. It doesn't mind winter water as
long as the media is really well drained.
6. Gladiolus dalenii - grown from seeds, 2 years old
7. Tigridia pavonia - typical red/orange form, grown from seeds, 2 years
old, should bloom in the 3rd or 4th year.

SEEDS:
8. Cyrtanthus galpinii - wild collected seeds from KwaZulu-Natal South
Africa.
9. Melasphaerula ramosa - I got these from a friend but I already have some
so I'm passing them on.
10. Triteleia clementina
11. Lapeirousia aff. jacquinii
12. Hesperoxiphion peruvianum

From Bob Werra: (SEEDS)

13. Calochortus catalinae
14. Moraea ciliate, blue
15. Moraea macrocarpa
16. Moraea pendula
17. Moraea polyanthus
18. Moraea tripetala
19. Moraea vegeta
20. Moraea vespertina
