[pbs] A bit off topic, Beschorneria

Hi Gang,

I don't think Beschorneria qualify as geophytes, but I grow some among my 
bulbs and find they fit right in as long as they have good drainage. 
Sometimes, Poltianthes (a relative) are accorded geophyte status.

Anyway, I wonder if folks out there have a few seeds of hardy Beschorneria 
types (hybrids are fine), or know where to order such seeds.  A few years 
ago I got some seeds from Peckerwood Garden, but I've never seen seed 
offered again.  However, I did get some from a garden email friend in New 
Zealand.


Cordially,

Conroe Joe (Hot and humid in Conroe, more rain, the Crinum seem to love this 
weather as long as they don't get leaf spots).
