Are these still available ?

Dear List,

I'm writing this on behalf of a very good friend of mine who is a Doctor of
Botany. She lives quite close to me in Plymouth, UK. Her main interests are
in breeding Iris sibirica, Helleborus and Nerines. Indeed she has bred many
triploid forms of the latter using colchizine techniques.

One of the main plants she is looking for is a form of Nerine that
apparently was quite common at one time here in the UK but like many plants
she fears it has been out grown by other varieties.

She is looking for Nerine 'Alice', a polyploid hybrid.

Another plant she remembers (as she is well into retirement) is Hemerocallis
'Lilac Mink', bred by Coe, she wonders whatever happened to it.

Thanks for any help anyone can give. I'll print all the information and post
it too her.

Also, does anyone have access to this years NARGS seed. A Tulbaghia appears
on the list that isn't grown here in the UK and I'm afraid I'm not able to
get the seed direct from NARGS. The seed is Tulbaghia fragrans 'Alba', and
it is likely that a proportion of the seed may come true. I'll gladly return
postage, seed etc..

Thanks and Best Wishes,
                                            Dave (and on behalf of Marion)
