I propose a name change for the Pacific Bulb Society to 'The
>North American Bulb Society'.
I like "Pacific Bulb SOciety" not because I live on the Pacific
coast, but because of the other meaning of "pacific." The calmer and
more peaceful a plant society is, the happier its members should be;
and perhaps the name will be a gentle reminder to those few who
actively enjoy conflict.
Also, we have a number of members outside North America, and a less
geographically limiting name may make them feel more welcome.
