Sorry if this is a duplicate. The previous send arrived blank at my
mailbox.
The July issue of the Bulb Garden is on its way to you. It's a great
issue. Our lead article, written by Roy Sachs, is all about
Alstroemeria. There are several other articles and many pictures to
explore! Jennifer Hildebrand (my co-editor) and I hope you enjoy it as
much as we enjoy putting it together.
This is one of the PBS membership benefits, so if you are not a
current PBS member, you are missing a treat. We are already at work on
the November issue, and I think you will enjoy Jane McGary's article on
her tour of Greece. She has graciously sent so many excellent flower
photos, we are having a difficult time selecting which to use.
And, of course, this is the time for my quarterly request for you to
write an article. Without your contributions, there would be a very
minimal newsletter. Please consider writing about your garden. Any
topic related to bulbs-rhizomes-corms is suitable. Write about your
garden design, a special garden spot you enjoy, a favorite genus and its
culture. We also use descriptions of public gardens and book reviews.
Please e-mail me if you want details about size, etc. And, do please
respond if I write asking that you volunteer to write something.
