IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM ME, TRY AGAIN !! From Monica Swartz: 1. Seedling bulblets of Brunsvigia bosmaniae ex Telos (small bulbs from the seed I didn't send in time) 2. Seeds of Hymenocallis guerreroensis ex BX 243 (mostly, may have a few harrisiana and phalangidis, a storm knocked them to the ground) 3, Seeds of Hymenocallis phalangidis ex BX 209 From Roy Herold: 4. Seed of Clivia miniata 'Kaguyahime' x ('Vico Yellow' x F2 cross) ex Nakamura From Mary Sue Ittner: (BULBS) 5. Cyrtanthus elatus x C. montanus - small offsets that formed on top next to the larger bulbs (see photos on the wiki; flowers are quite striking once bulbs are flowering size) 6. Oxalis namaquana - winter growing, bright yellow, flowering sized bulbs are very small 7. Oxalis purpurea - lavender and white - winter growing 8. Oxalis purpurea (white flowers) - blooms for many months when happy, but if planted in the ground in climates where it is happy, it can spread more than you might want From Jim Waddick: 9. Seeds of "Germination of Crinum bulbispermum ‘Jumbo’. Large seeds are pushed about 1/2 way into damp sand. Germination is usually fast and total. If the seed has started to germinate orient the emerging root downwards. Add a bit of soil as it burrows down. Keep in bright light. In my cold cllimate I protect the first year seedlings in a frost free place and then pot them into gallon pots for their 2nd year of growth. By fall they can be planted in the garden slightly deeper than they are growing in the pot. Plant in full sun. These have proven easy and both drought and flood tolerant, and extremes of heat and cold in my Zone 5/6 garden. Expect bloom in 3 or 4 years ( or more) and plant will get larger, but does not pup much. Enjoy." 10. Bulbs of Albuca 'Augrabies Hills.' Bulbs are best planted with most of bulb above ground. From Bob Hoel: Small bulbs of Hippeastrum hybrids: 11. 'Dancing Queen' 12. 'Carmen' (only one) 13. red/white striped flower 14. 'Rilona' 15. 'Evergreen' (only one) 16 unknown mix, mostly red single 17. Leafed propagules of Neomarica candida Thank you, Monica, Mary Sue, Jim, Roy, and Bob !!
