Dear All,
I got this from Lee yesterday, but wasn't home long enough to forward it to
the group.

Item 6. Others have already corrected the spelling, and described it. I
used the spelling that was used when I got the seeds. So I'm just
propagating the error.
Items 7, 11, 12, 13. I can't remember the specifics of each kind, except
that the buds of Z. primulina are beautiful shade of pink that open up to a
pale chiffon pink with veins. It flowers prolifically for me. I think Z.
minima are these small rain lilies on short stems on small plants.
Item 8. Alberto already described this. I think these seeds are from plants
I grew from seed he donated in the past.
Item 9. Tall flower stalk with many branches that get covered in small
star-shaped yellow flowers.
Item 10. To me looks like your typical Manfreda with variegated maroon
spots on the leaves with a very tall flower scape that has those odd shaped
flowers with enormous stamen. Related to tuberose, but I didn't detect any
scent in these.
Item 14. Got this bulb at a Univ. of Calif. Irvine bulb sale a few years
ago. It is just the typical pink V. bracteata.
Item 15. I have a bulb that is labelled "Veltheimia bracteata rosealba
selfed". However it turned out to be a solid pink. These seed are from this
pink flower. I don't know the genetics of Veltheimia to be able to say
whether any of these seed will produce the odd rosealba or not.
