 Greetings! 
    I have missed the list, too. 
 
Hch 120, i want to let you know that i found out i have only about 40 
Bottle Onion Seed left, and they are even older than i remembered from 
'04'.  Chances are they won't be viable.  Maybe i will just sow them 
as see - but  having 20 of these oldies may not be worthwhile.  Last i 
heard, Jeptha Yoder sells sets for them..... was sets for 4.00 lb + 4.00 
shipping  and that was 2-3 years ago. 
   There is a thread on this at 
Gardenweb :"Source for 
bottle onion seed"  You may be able to ask someone like Brook Elliott 
if he has more.  Never know about him. Perhaps you can find the source from some of the folk on 
that thread. 
Also, i replanted my bulbs to make seed, and 
only 1 of each  3 sent up a flower stalk!  Still, i had about 7 blooms 
at the time, and quite a lot of seed, which ishared away at the time.  If i 
have luck with these few seed, it will be a few years till we have more seed to 
share, but i will give it a try just to keep them going around.  This onion 
had alot of thin layers, with only the outer one reddish.  It only stored 
okay - not long enough.  Still they are pretty - but not thrillers!  
After i grew them for a few years, i wondered what all the hype was about 
them....i LOVE growing many alliums aside from Bottle 
Onions.
