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 <ds429@comcast.net>. Include "BX 309" 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/share of
seeds or $3 -$5/ share of bulbs)(cash, check, or Pay Pal to
<pbs.treasury@verizon.net>; no money orders, please) you should send the PBS
treasurer.

PLEASE NOTE: CURRENT POSTAL-RATE SCHEMES NECESSITATE OUR PLACING A SURCHARGE
ON EACH ORDER FROM PBS BX OFFERINGS.

     Many of you are subscribers to this pbs elist which is free, but are
not members of the Pacific Bulb Society which has a yearly membership
charge. THIS BX OFFERING IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO MEMBERS of the Pacific Bulb
Society. If you are not a member, consider joining so that you can take
advantage of future offers such as this. Go to our website:
http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/ ....

         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 plant materials to:

Dell Sherk
6832 Phillips Mill Rd.
New Hope, PA, 18938

Non US donors should contact Dell for instructions before sending seeds.

            I WILL REPLY TO YOU WITHIN 24 HRS OF MY RECEIPT OF YOUR ORDER.
IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM ME, TRY AGAIN !!

From Roy Herold:

BULBS
Offsets and near-blooming size.
1. Drimiopsis maculata
2. Drimiopsis kirkii

SEEDS

3. Eucomis zambesiaca--outside chance some are crossed with E. vandermervii.
4. Ophiopogon umbraticola--received as O. chingii, new ID by Mark 
McDonough. Berries have been left uncleaned so you can admire the 
iridescent blue color. Clean before planting.

Clivia seeds are open pollinated, only a few of each, as the bees don't 
do a very good job.

5. Clivia 'Anna's Yellow' OP, from the magnificent garden of my wife's 
aunt in Hilton, KZN.

The rest are from seedlings grown from Nakamura seed by Matt Mattus and 
Joe Philip.

6. Clivia 'Shortleaf Yellow x Shortleaf Yellow' OP
7. Clivia 'Monk x Daruma' OP
8. Clivia 'Multipetal x Self' OP--this one tends to throw interesting 
crested offsets.

From Paul Otto:

9. Small corms of Gladiolus flanaganii

From Max Withers:

10. Seed of Bomarea sp. (acutifolia?) ex Nhu Nguyen OP, probably selfed

From Roland de Boer:

12. Dietes butcheriana
13. Eucomis, mixed spp
