Regarding some seed in the today's BX 464: 53. Albuca sp. (yellow and green) - April 2020 is just-harvested winter-growing seed. My plants are descendants of International Bulb Society seed exchange October 2000 f00-94, originally ex A. G. Bailey, England. I don't see anything like it in our Wiki. This is a medium sized Albuca that does not clump. It has 2-4 long, narrow, channeled, grayish green leaves. Spikes are rigidly upright, to about 30-40cm, and do not branch. Pedicels are very short. Flowers face upright and are relatively globular in outline compared to some Albuca. Petals are white with central grayish stripes. There is a faint sweet-strange scent. Fruits develop and mature upright. It seems to be self-fertile. It will reseed in nearby pots. Dormant plants in 1-gallon nursery pots survive outside in the dry, extremely hot Phoenix summer, with occasional rain. It would probably do fine in the ground here with relatively little supplemental winter water. It is extremely easy to sprout and grow, so this is a great plant for beginning seed growers developing confid ence. I have more if this runs out. 54. Narcissus tazetta mixed ex Bill Welch - open pollinated - April 2020 Freshly collected seed. In September 2018 I ordered from Bill Welch for the first time. Sadly, it was also the last. Among the order were a dozen each of four Narcissus tazetta hybrids: Golden Dawn, Autumn Colors, Welch's Paper Whites, Chinese Sacred Lily. I read notice of his death as they were dropping seed. I collected some from fruits, and some from the gravel walkway next to their raised bed. They are open-pollinated. The four varieties have differing bloom peaks, but flowering overlapped. I also had previously planted paperwhites flowering at the same time. Note that some distance away in this same bed grows Gossypium thurberi, a wonderful Arizona native deciduous shrub: https://fs.fed.us/wildflowers/beauty/… The seeds of the two plants look exactly the same to me, even when I myself removed them from the respective fruits. Some of the seed in this donation was picked up off the ground under the Narcissus. It wasn't until later that I realized I might also have picked up the Gossypium. I removed everything that seemed to have tiny white hairs. You may have a dicot with very large, round, slightly pointed cotyledons come up in your pots. It's a wonderful plant if you decide to keep it, and will probably flower the first fall. It is killed to the ground here by our occasional severe frosts but returns.
