Pam,
I have found the mesh bags from the grocery store to work well. 3# and
5# of onions often come in them. As they are made out of plastic they
are re-usable over many years. I use them to store garlic in. No
reason other bulbs/tubers, etc. wouldn't work in them.

Hi Paul:
Yes, I admired your Scilla natalensis (among a couple of thousand other
plants in your collection) during the APGA field trip to your Garden.
My bulb is planted deeply - one of the reasons I was not sure it would
survive, much less flower.

This must be California week in my garden: various west coast of North
America Brodiaea (B. jolonensis) , Dichelostemma (D. multiflorum, D.
ida-maia, D. Pink Diamond) and Triteleia (T. ixioides) are blooming now
and
more are on the way.
Dutch iris are also in bloom, as are such big Asian Allium as cristophii
and
the garden hybrid Globemaster.
Little Allium crenulatum, the Olympic onion, is also blooming.
Moraea polyanthus continues to bloom, and with each new flower it rises
a
bit in my esteem.
Lilium hansonii has some well colored buds and will probably be the
first
lily to bloom here this year.
A nice seed pod is ripening on Tecophilaea cyanocrocus.
Crocuses in the lawn, mostly tommies, are putting their seed capsules up
to
the sun.

Hi-
Is there anyone out there who knows where I can get net bags (various
materials
are used) for bulb storage? I like them for ventilation, ease of ID and
I can
always see whether there's a problem or sprouting.
Thanks much and have a good holiday,
Pam

Hi Pamela,
Save yourself some aggravation and just use an old pair of pantyhose.
They
work just as well.

Ol' reliable, McMaster-Carr, one of the great American companies, sells
them.
Anybody who "gets their hands dirty" should bookmark the site or acquire
the catalog.
www.mcmaster.com
Search the site for mesh bags and the catalog page will load.

An alternative to ordering net bags is to make them yourself. You can
buy various kinds of netting at any large fabric store. If your
sewing machine doesn't like the netting, you can cover the seam with
tissue paper while sewing. I did this when I thought I would grow and
store my own onions -- not realizing that good storage onions can be
produced only where they get sufficient heat in summer. I don't store
ornamental bulbs out of the ground for very long, and so I just use
brown paper bags (obtainable in bulk from Costco) for the 4 to 6
weeks they're out during my annual bulb sale.
