Dear Joe;
Haven't heard from you for a while and interesting notes on
'bulbous' cactus and crinum.
Welcome Ken
We cover all manner of bulbous types here so you should have
some fun reading along the 'road'
Thanks to Mary Sue and Jay -
Most list member may not note a slight change in their
messages. All message used to end with the line:
http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/pbs this
takes you to the PBS home page in a click
but a lot of people mention a wiki page or image without
giving a link. Now the final line of all message is :
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki which brings
you right to the wiki home page. Then just type in the image search
and you get right to the destination.
Hope it will. help you - it sure does me- to have faster
access to the wiki galleries.
And meanwhile, my confusing "scillas' are just finishing. I
think I bought these as Scilla nonscripta, the classic English
Bluebells. In pink ('Dainty Maid") white ('Alba"?) and blue
('Excelsior'). They were briefly Scilla campanulatus and now are
Hyacinthoides nonscripta - I think.
Still confused over these and 'Roman Hyacinths, Wood
Hyacinths and are H. nonscripta and h. campanulatus synonyms of the
same plant?
Anyway they were all lovely and have been quite vigorous.
In between spring and summer bulb seasons here, especially
after the disastrous spring late freezes cut bloom seasons short.
Hope the current round of storms doesn't last too long and we can dry
out with out a tornado coming through, too.
Best Jim W.
