Hi Josh, and welcome I too like many, started collecting plants when I was young. My parents used to drag ( or I dragged them) to our local horticultural society, when I was about 10 years old. Even though they were gardeners, I think I took it to a new level. Bulbs came along later, like in high school, but I do remember looking at books on South African bulbs at the Horticultural society library, and thinking that someday I will grow them once I got a greenhouse. Today, I do grow many and most bulbs, and strange enough, I'm also creative director at Hasbro, and worked on Furby. Strange world, indeed.
