Dear PBS Friends,
I am sort of surprised that there has been response or
comments about this plea for involvement.
I don't know anything about this group, but membership groups
of all kinds (including PBS?) are in trouble these days. Whether
local garden clubs, national societies and activities of all sorts.
I know that if I were any bit closer to MA, I'd consider
signing up and going.
And that is not so hidden plea to consider renewing your
membership and involvement in PBS.
Recently I was at a bigger garden center and found two
interesting bulbs in the rows of pots of labelled cacti and
succulents. One was an Ornithgalum with tufts of grassy thin leaves
coming out of exposed bulbs, and the other was a long emergent
exposed bulb, but I can't recall the genus. A familiar name, but an
odd plant.
Best Jim W.
