Hello all, I have a bulb sharing quandry that I'd like to get some feedback/suggestions on. A couple of years ago I bought a bag of Moraea lurida bulblets from the Berkeley Botanical Garden. The good news is I repotted them this year and they have multiplied like crazy, more than I have space to keep. So, rather than throw them away I'd like to offer the excess up to other enthusiasts. Herein lies the rub. I don't think they're actually M. lurida. The ones that bloomed look like M. tripetala and one was colored like the "tripetala" but has a completely different form. Now, should I just describe them as Moraea spp. that looks like tripetala and not supply a solid identification? And are people going to interested in acquiring Moraea bulbs that are unidentified? When I originally bought these bulbs the BBG was selling bags of M. lurida, M. villosa, and M. tripetala so it's possible that bag I bought was mis-labeled and they actually are M. tripetala. So, what to do? BTW, that bulbs are all potted up for this season so I wouldn't be sharing any until next summer/fall at which time (given how well they've done so far) they will require even more space that I don't want to dedicate to them. I've attached a couple of pics of each flower form. In one of the pics you will be able to clearly see the label identifying the species of Moraea. Dave Sheehy P.S. I'm a new member, just joined yesterday and if you couldn't tell already I like Moreaes. ;-) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
