Welcome Karla, I would like to see a list of the species in your collection, if that is possible. I live in between Philadelphia and New York, but have yet to visit BBG. All of your questions are welcome, and there is usually someone here who can give you answers. And I look forward to hearing about what you have learned about your charges. Best regards, Dell Dell Sherk, SE PA zone 6/7 Director, PBS BX -----Original Message----- From: pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Chandler, Karla Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 4:20 PM To: pbs@lists.ibiblio.org Subject: [pbs] introduction Hi Everyone, I have finally joined and I am pretty excited. I have tons of questions, but I also hope to contribute information. Now that my bulb season is over, I am freer to talk about them, and thereby making the season endless. I take care of a collection of SA bulbs at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden of New York State. It has become more than my job as any of you can well guess. It is a modest collection of about 30 Genera and 100 species. I inherited the roughly 20 year old collection and have added to it in the seven years I have been curator. Mostly I have weeded out virus infected plants and tried to keep the rest alive. This is my first time joining such a list. Thank you for letting me participate.
