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.
Red White Stripe yellow centre, scented. Pot
(In gardening, plants with other kinds of storage organ are also called “ornamental bulbous plants” or just “bulbs”.)
Home Red – bold white, yellow centre. Sth fence. Feathery
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.
Red- Orange, White star yellow centre. Cocktail star
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.
Red White No 10 Striking
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.
Red White, mauve blush, Green throat. Box No 73
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.

[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.
Citrus hystrix, Kaffir lime – 10 seeds,
[wp_cart_button name=”Kaffir C hystrix” price=”7.00″] $7.00
This citrus fruit is native to Asian countries and is used in Asian cuisine.
Kaffir lime is a thorny bush, Can grow 5ft tall, but usually kept short by pruning. It has very aromatic and unusual shaped double leaves. The kaffir lime has a rough, lumpy green fruit. The green to yellowish when fully ripe fruit is juicy and not very sweet, known for it’s lumpy exterior and its small size (approx. 4 cm wide). Both the leaves and fruit are used in cooking, and can also be eaten fresh. Wonderfully flavored for both sweet and savory dishes. The rind of the kaffir lime is commonly used in Lao and Thai curry paste, adding an aromatic, astringent flavor. The zest of the fruit is used in creole cuisine and to impart flavor to “arranged” rums in the Martinique, Réunion island and Madagascar. some Vietnam cusine with chicken serve include lime leaves dice to add fragment. steaming snail also include lime leave to decrease the stink when steam. However, it is the hourglass-shaped leaves (comprising the leaf blade plus a flattened, leaf-like leaf-stalk or petiole) that are used most often in cooking. They can be used fresh or dried, and can be stored frozen. The leaves are widely used in Thai and Lao cuisine (for dishes such as tom yum), and Cambodian cuisine (for the base paste “Krueng”). The leaves are also used in Indonesian cuisine (especially Balinese cuisine and Javanese cuisine), for foods such as sayur asam, and are used along with Indonesian bay leaf for chicken and fish. They are also found in Malaysian and Burmese cuisines. In Cambodia, the entire fruit is crystallized/candied for eating
Fruit sliced thinly and added to a jug of cold water in the fridge, it will make a great thirst quenching drink on a hot day, no sugar required. Fruit can be used as a substitute for ordinary lime in European recipes. Very tasty mixed with ginger, garlic, chile, coriander and lemon grass in savory dishes. Has many health benefits like all citrus, and is high in Vit C. The juice and rinds are used in traditional Indonesian medicine; for this reason the fruit is referred to in Indonesia as jeruk obat (“medicine citrus”). The oil from the rind has strong insecticidal properties. Grows well in a pot as it’s from tropics to sub-tropics and is frost sensitive. Imagine how wonderful it will be to have your own Fresh Kaffir Lime Leaves on hand for all your Asian and Thai Cooking. Evergreen so you have them all year round.
KEY 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.

Australian Finger Lime , Citrus australasica 5 seed each 4 x variety (+bloodlime)- 20 seeds $42.00 [wp_cart_button name=”Fingerlime X 4 C australasica” price=”42.00″] 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.
Lemonade Lemon, Citrus limon X Navel Orange, Citrus sinensis. 10 seed $11.00
[wp_cart_button name=”lemonade C sinensis” price=”11.00″]
The lemonade fruit is a hybrid citrus fruit found in Australia and New Zealand. A cross between a navel orange and a lemon, it was first cultivated in the 1980s and grows in subtropical regions of the two countries, notably Queensland in Australia and Northland in New Zealand. The fruit has a similar appearance to limes, but yellows as it ripens. 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.
10) 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.
11) 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.
In the Philippines it is referred to a as Calamansi, where the acid pulp is used to make chutneys, marmalades or as a lime substitute. Very ornamental bearing heavy crops of small round orange fruits. bush or shrub
