Lovely bulbs from 2015

All the bulbs I have grown from seed are now starting to flower, and letting me know what they are. I obviously have some that are multiples of what I need. And Listed below are the red white bulbs I have for sale.
Bulbs on this page are all $10.00 each for flowering size and $5.00 for pups. (if I have any)
Between the items is an article on some technical info on bulbs.

This article is about bulbs as defined botanically. For bulbs in the wider gardening sense, see Ornamental bulbous plant.

Hippeastrum (amaryllis) bulb
In botany, a bulb is a short stem with fleshy leaves or leaf bases that function as food storage organs during dormancy.

(In gardening, plants with other kinds of storage organ are also called “ornamental bulbous plants” or just “bulbs”.)

A bulb’s leaf bases, also known as scales, generally do not support leaves, but contain food reserves to enable the plant to survive adverse weather conditions. At the center of the bulb is a vegetative growing point or an unexpanded flowering shoot.

The base is formed by a stem, and plant growth occurs from this basal plate. Roots emerge from the underside of the base, and new stems and leaves from the upper side.

Tunicate bulbs have dry, membranous outer scales that protect the continuous lamina of fleshy scales. Species in the genera Allium, Hippeastrum, Narcissus, and Tulipa all have tunicate bulbs. Non-tunicate bulbs, such as Lilium and Fritillaria species, lack the protective tunic and have looser scales.

Other types of storage organs (such as corms, rhizomes, and tubers) are sometimes referred to as bulbs, although as the term is used in botany, they are not.

Red Orange, White & yellow throat – Cocktail

The technical term for plants that form underground storage organs, including bulbs as well as tubers and corms, is geophyte. Some epiphytic orchids (family Orchidaceae) form above-ground storage organs called pseudobulbs, that superficially resemble bulbs.

Nearly all plants that form true bulbs are monocotyledons, and include:

Amaryllis, Crinum, Hippeastrum, Narcissus, and several other members of the amaryllis family Amaryllidaceae. This includes onion, garlic, and other alliums, members of the Amaryllid subfamily Allioideae.

Lily, tulip, and many other members of the lily family Liliaceae.
Two groups of Iris species, family Iridaceae: subgenus Xiphium (the “Dutch” irises) and subgenus Hermodactyloides (the miniature “rock garden” irises).
Oxalis, in the family Oxalidaceae, is the only dicotyledon genus that produces true bulbs.[4][5]

Bulbous plant species cycle through vegetative and reproductive growth stages; the bulb grows to flowering size during the vegetative stage and the plant flowers during the reproductive stage. Certain environmental conditions are needed to trigger the transition from one stage to the next, such as the shift from a cold winter to spring.[2] Once the flowering period is over, the plant enters a foliage period of about six weeks during which time the plant absorbs nutrients from the soil and energy from the sun for setting flowers for the next year. Bulbs dug up before the foliage period is completed will not bloom the following year but then should flower normally in subsequent years.

After the foliage period is completed, bulbs may be dug up for replanting elsewhere. Any surface moisture should be dried, then the bulbs may be stored up to about 4 months for a fall planting. Storing them much longer than that may cause the bulbs to dry out inside and become nonviable.

Hippeastrum bulbs, how to grow from seed.

As some people have trouble with email getting lost (sorry bigpond users – your stuff always goes missing) I have put this here for them.

This will also give simple directions on how to grow some of the more interesting hippeastrum crosses bulbs that I sell.  Good luck everyone… I hope they grow like weeds.

Calyptrupum …………
These are originally found growing on trees and in rock crevices. But do very well in a mix of blue metal, coco coir, and vermiculite (or perlite) mix, in a pot…  In a well-lit area with high humidity, so a green shade house is perfect or in a lush tree on the northeast side. Your home environment will have to be taken into consideration when choosing a spot, basically where ever orchids grow… feed with weak liquid fertiliser.

Aulicum x Mandonii …..
Free draining mix in morning sun, but can handle full sun if kept well watered in the heat of summer. Feed frequently for bigger flowers. Ordinary potting mix with added sand is great.

hippeastrum reticulatum var. striatifolium

These bulbs love a shady (not dark) moist environment out of the wind. Plant them deeply in well-drained sandy mix, in a big pot in a greenhouse or another warm shady place.
Water well, but let dry out between waterings, likes humidity, but not being soggy wet.
Should flower in 2 years, if not before. Feed frequently.

SEEDS.……………..
Please use the compost and sand method, unless you are familiar with the floatation method.

I have found better results that way as my water is not suitable for the floatation method.

You will find a great youtube video here

Temperature is the most important factor in germination of hippeastrum seeds, the optimum temp is between 20C and 30C However a low of 15C at night and a high of 40C during the day is acceptable.

I use 1/3 multi-purpose potting mix,  1/3 coco coir, 1/3 sand. Mix well..
Sieve enough to use on top layer. Old fan safety mesh works well here.
You need a light friable mix that holds water but still drains well.

Lay the seeds out in rows 3cm between seeds and 10cm between rows.

I use polystyrene boxes, with holes and fill about 12cm deep.
Layout seeds and cover evenly with 1cm topping mix.

Water well until the whole box is soaking, leave to drain, cover with plastic, select a warm shaded spot, Don’t water again unless just a light spray to keep top slightly damp until you see leaves appearing 2 to 3 weeks. Then fertilise with charlie carp Seasol Superbooster. or equivalent.

You can keep them in a greenhouse, or cover with plastic in the warm shade outside.
This is to help keep the top moist and stop the wind blowing the moisture away

At these spacings, you can keep them in the box a couple of years… When they get too big they can go straight in the ground. And some may flower next year. I often just spread them out a bit and leave them in the poly boxes, you get a lot less weeds.
I also use Thrive liquid fertiliser, trace elements and pelleted chook poo when older.

Baby BULBS…………………………..
When transplanting out baby bulbs, make sure the green/white tip/leaf on the top of the bulblet is above the ground as much as possible without them falling over.

Mature BULBS.…………
When planting out mature bulbs, make sure the bulb neck is above the top of the soil or mulch. Otherwise in winter with no leaves, the dew/rain can settle in the top of the bulb… making them rot out.   Plant into good quality well draining garden soil… Or well draining potting mix in a pot. Feed frequently, some varieties like more shade than others.

All hippeasrtums like liquid fertiliser, seasol and chook poo. Keep watch for clivia grub (black with white markings) which can burrow into the bulb.  Water less frequently as the bulbs grow older.

Water in all new bulb transplants with liquid fertiliser,  charlie carp, Seasol Superbooster. or equivalent.

Happy gardening
Best of luck

Hippeastrum /ˌhɪpiːˈæstrəm/ is a genus of about 90 species and over 600 hybrids and cultivars of perennial herbaceous bulbous plants. They generally have large fleshy bulbs and tall broad leaves, generally evergreen, and large red or purple flowers.

Beautiful big flower, striking colours.

Hippeastrum is a genus in the family Amaryllidaceae (subfamily Amaryllidoideae, tribe Hippeastreae, and subtribe Hippeastrineae) The name Hippeastrum, given to it by William Herbert, means “Knight’s-star-lily”, although precisely what Herbert meant by the name is not certain.

For many years there was confusion among botanists over the generic names Amaryllis and Hippeastrum, one result of which is that the common name “amaryllis” is mainly used for cultivars of this genus, often sold as indoor flowering bulbs particularly at Christmas in the northern hemisphere.

By contrast the generic name Amaryllis applies to bulbs from South Africa, usually grown outdoors. The genus is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas from Argentina north to Mexico and the Caribbean.

Reproduction is generally by allogamy (cross-pollination) and Hippeastrum may be propagated by seed or offset bulbils (bulblets), although commercial ventures use in vitro techniques, or splitting of the bulb into sections.

The genus has been intensely bred and cultivated since the early nineteenth century to produce large colourful showy flowers. In temperate climes these can be placed outside in the summer, and after a dormancy period, be induced to re-bloom inside in the winter.

Most Hippeastrum bulbs are tunicate (a protective dry outer layer and fleshy concentric inner scales or leaf bases).

Red White X White No 1

The bulbs are generally between 5–12 cm (2″–5″) in diameter and produce two to seven long-lasting evergreen or deciduous leaves that are 30–90 cm (12″–36″) long and 2.5–5 cm (1″–2″) wide.

The leaves are hysteranthous (develop after flowering), sessile, rarely persistent and subpetiolate.

The flowers are arranged in umbelliform inflorescences which are pauciflor or pluriflor (2-14 flowers), supported on an erect hollow scape (flower stem) which is 20–75 cm (12″–30″) tall and 2.5–5 cm (1″–2″) in diameter with two free bracts forming a spathe which is bivalve with free leaflets at its base.

Vittatum White Crimson X Hot Pink 2

Depending on the species, there are two to fifteen large showy flowers, which are more or less zygomophic and hermaphrodite. Each flower is 13–20 cm (5″–8″) across, and the native species are usually purple or red. They are funnelform (funnel shaped) and declinate (curving downwards and then upwards at the tip) in shape.

The perianth has six brightly colored tepals (three outer sepals and three inner petals) that may be similar in appearance or very different. The perianth segments are subequal or unequal. The tepals are united at the base to form a short tube, usually with a rudimentary scaly paraperigonium with fimbriae or a callose ridge present at the throat.

Vittatum X (Apple Blossom X Elvas

The androecium consists of six stamens with filiform (thread like) filaments, which are fasciculate (in close bundles) and declinate or ascendent. The anthers are dorsifixed or versatile. In the gynaecium, the ovary is inferior and trilocular with pluriovulate locules. The style is filiform, and the stigma trifid.

The fruit forms a trivalve capsule containing seeds which are dry, flattened, obliquely winged or irregularly discoid, hardly ever turgid, and globose (spherical) or subglobose, with a brown or black phytomelanous testa.

In 1753 Carl Linnaeus created the name Amaryllis belladonna, the type species of the genus Amaryllis, in his Species Plantarum along with eight other Amaryllis species.

Linnaeus had earlier worked on the Estate of George Clifford near Haarlem between 1735 and 1737 describing the plants growing there in his Hortus Cliffortianus in 1738.

It is to this work that he refers in his Species Plantarum. This was assumed to be the South African Cape Belladonna, although not precisely known. Clifford’s herbarium is now preserved at the Natural History Museum in London.

Mandarin mix (Citrus_Reticulata)Citrus reticulata, Mandarin orange, mandarin mandarine – 10 seed


[wp_cart_button name=”mandarin C reticulata” price=”6.00″]  $6.00
Mandarin orange, also known as the mandarin or mandarine, is a small citrus tree (Citrus reticulata) with fruit resembling other oranges. Mandarin oranges are usually eaten plain or in fruit salads. Specifically reddish-orange mandarin cultivars can be marketed as tangerines, but this is not a botanical classification. When exporting began, local Mandarin oranges were named after their port of origin.  The tree is more drought-tolerant than the fruit. The mandarin is tender and is damaged easily by cold. It can be grown in tropical and subtropical areas.
According to molecular studies, the mandarin, the citron, the pomelo, and the papeda were the ancestors of all other citrus species and their varieties, through breeding or natural hybridization; mandarins are therefore all the more important as the only sweet fruit among the parental species.

Key Lime Mix Citrus aurantifoliaKEY LIME, Citrus aurantifolia, West Indian Lime – 10 fresh seeds  
a.k.a. Mexican Lime, West Indian Lime. A small lime, ripening to yellow, although often used when green. The Key Lime tends to be more aromatic in flavor and scent than other limes. Flavor is excellent and is used to make Key Lime Pie. A small tree, generally to 10-20ft. Fruits ripen about 5-6 months following flowering. In California, flowers are produced during spring-summer. The Key Lime is more cold sensitive than most of its relatives, and tends to be injured or killed with temperatures below 32F. It isn’t too picky about soils and adapts fairly well to sandy soils. Keep trees well drained, extensive periods of flooding can kill the tree. Grow in full sun, trees need quite a bit of heat to set quality fruit. Propagation is by seeds. Also by grafting, with which trees tend to produce fruit a bit faster (3-4 years, vs. 4-7 for seedlings). Note on seeds: Seeds are harvested fresh, but to successfully germinate citrus seeds, a constant soil temperature at 75-85F is a must. Water moderately, only when the surface begins to dry. Over-watering can lead to rot. Sprout in shade, greenhouse or filtered sun, use anti-fungal. Fruits are commonly used in beverages and as an ingredient in desserts (Key Lime Pie for example). The fruits can be used just like any other limes. Native to southeast Asia. Has been cultivated for centuries throughout Asia and the Middle East.

The Australian Finger Lime plant, Citrus australasica is a thorny understorey shrub or small tree of lowland subtropical rainforest and dry rainforest in the coastal border region of Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. It has edible fruits which are under development as a potential new commercial crop.
The plant is 2–7 meters in height. Leaves are small, 1–6 cm long and 3–25 mm wide, glabrous, with a notched tip and crenate towards the apex. Flowers are white with petals 6–9 mm long. The fruit is cylindrical, 4–8 cm long, sometimes slightly curved, coming in different colors, including pink and green. Early settlers consumed the fruit and retained the trees when clearing for agriculture. Colonial botanists suggested that they should be cultivated. The finger lime has been recently popularized as a gourmet bushfood. The globular juice vesicles have been likened to a “lime caviar “, which can be used as a garnish or added to various recipes. The fresh vesicles have the effect of a burst of effervescent tangy flavour as they are chewed. The fruit juice is acidic and similar to that of a lime. Marmalade and pickles are also made from finger lime. The finger lime peel can be dried and used as a flavouring spice. Commercial use of finger lime fruit started in the mid-1990s in boutique marmalades made from wild harvested fruit. By 2000 the finger lime was being sold in restaurants, including the export of fresh fruit.
The finger lime has been recently grown on a commercial basis in Australia in response to high demand for the fruit.

The fruit is segmented, and can be eaten readily; its low-acid content gives it a sweet taste similar to the orange, but with a flavour not unlike a mild lemon.

Citrus jambhiri, Bush lemon mix10) Citrus jambhiri, Bush lemon, Rough Lemon – 10 seeds   $8.00
[wp_cart_button name=”Rough Bush C jambhiri” price=”8.00″]  

Citrus jambhiri A wild lemon from subtropical Australia, the bush lemon or rough lemon is very hardy, with a thick bumpy skin (like citron, below) and a strong lemon flavor from the rind—similar to a true lemon. The bush lemon can be very low in juice, but often always features a much stronger-tasting flesh than other lemons. Its hardiness makes it a good rootstock for grafting other varieties. The bush lemon is self-seeding. This means that when the seeds fall to the ground in the right environment, they will germinate and grow the following spring.

Blood lime finger x ellendale mix11) Blood Lime  Citrus australasica var. sanguinea X Ellendale Mandarin – 10 seed    $13.00
[wp_cart_button name=”Bloodlime C australasica v sanguinea ” price=”13.00″]

This hybrid citrus resulting from the open pollination of a flower of Citrus australasica var. sanguinea – the red finger lime, until recently known botanically as Microcitrus australasica. The pollen parent was either a Rangpur lime or an Ellendale Mandarin. Both these varieties are themselves citrus hybrids. The Rangpur is probably a cross between a lemon and a mandarin, and so sometimes called a lemanderin. It is an attractive fruit with a very acidic taste and orange peel and flesh. The Ellendale originated in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia around 1878. It is believed to be a natural cross of a mandarin and an orange. The Ellendale Mandarin fruit is deep orange, with high sugar as well as acid content, which gives it a rich, sweet, tangy flavour.
