Apart from mesembryanthoides are there any other desirables?

Re: Bulbines
Bulbine bruynsii and Bulbine vitrea are very admirable. Both not easy to come by. If my 2013 sown B. bruynsii finally will start flowering, I hope to be able to offer this species as seed. I also have B. vitrea. But for now I am not truly confinced it is B. vitrea.Herts Mike wrote:Apart from mesembryanthoides are there any other desirables?
Easier to obtain are Bulbine fallax (via the MSG seed list is my only source every few years) and B. haworthioides (I believe available at ADBLPS and / or Mesa Garden).

Re: Bulbines
I have been looking for B. dactylopsoides, B. bruynsii, B. fallax, B. haworthioides, B. margarethae and B. wiesei for some time. B. inamarxiae is also well worth growing.

Re: Bulbines
Bulbine wiesei is quite easy to find. Succulenta, Köhres, and I believe ADBLPs has it. Probably Silverhill Seeds too, and I think Gordon Summerfield.
B. dactylopsoides is something else. Have not seen that one available anywhere. It is still on my wish list.
B. inamarxiae was available via www.canddplants.com/seed-list/ not long ago, but not at this moment. But he does not send outside of the US (maybe unless you get in good contact and offer an interesting swap?).

Re: Bulbines
B. sedifolia looks interesting too.
