The next exchange will take place in September and will be announced through the same channels. Please do not send any more items to Martin until further notice. Once you will have received your order from this spring exchange, you will find a payment slip included. Happy growing and have a great summer!

So imagine my surprise when I looked up in the greenhouse today saw my lone flowering individual had set fruit! We?ll see if the seed are good later this year, but I just had to share. Very exciting! Best, Cody Coyotee Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA Hello Cody, This is very interesting! In general the seed set in Albuca is good if there is seed at all. The only thing I wonder about is: are you sure that your plant is the real clanwilliamigloria? I am asking because there is a different species circulating under the wrong name of Albuca clanwilliamigloria. I have sown seed of the false one and even at the seedling stage they look different but they have not flowered yet. The other question would be if there were other Albuca in flower at the same time so your seed could be of hybrid origin. I hope that you don’t mind that I put this thread on the forum where you can post pictures. Bye for now Uli _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pbs Unsubscribe: PBS Forum latest:https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbsforum/index.php?action=recent From pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net Fri, 05 May 2023 10:17:02 -0700 Message-Id: <494282306.345880.1683305637843@mail.yahoo.com> From: Deborah Riehl via pbs Subject: Leucocrinum montanum [sand lily] Date: Fri, 5 May 2023 16:53:57 +0000 (UTC) I saw fields of these lovely, fragrant starry white flowers while rafting the Owyhee River in SE Oregon.

I've never obtained plants or seed since I started using my bulb house, but I could probably grow it there. The only likely source of seed would be Alplains.

Date: Tue, 23 May 2023 17:02:44 -0700 You can store them warm dry in or out of media. They handle forced dormancy quite well...clean off the leaves and roots and they will happily await cool and moisture. I've stored them cool dry (60F) in SF and they come up just fine with planting and watering in the fall/winter. If they are potted in dry medium, they should be fine stored warm to hot. If potted moist and kept cooler, some may sprout out of season.

Always afternoon shade and bright shade all day. Keep moist but not sopping wet. My dodies are all still green but show signs of wanting to go dormant. As long as they get enough water they stay green for quite awhile. I have D. hendersonii, pulchellum, meadia and now dentatum is just starting to bloom. I'd guess as long as you keep them in shade and moist but not wet, they'll be fine. The trick I've found to transplanting is that early in the year just when they begin to show a tiny bit of green is the best time to divide and transplant. If roots detach, which they will do, just plant with the buds below the surface a bit, several to a pot or with a mature plant. Robin Hansen The wind is finally calming and we have a lovely day.

If divided this time of year, they should definitely be kept moist and in the shade. The roots are somewhat persistent, so the untimely division might not kill them. In the garden, established plants do well in sun in Hope's area, which has, however, recently experienced a historically hot spell for the season. The strange weather, which we may have to get used to, has affected many plants and particularly caused unseasonal flowering patterns.
