Hello, Everyone: I have a quick pop-up offer of Leucocoryne from Professor Mark Bridgen at Cornell University.  Mark describes his bulbs as "mixed species of Leucocoryne.  Most are L. ixiodes and L. coquimbensis.  Some L. purpurea and L. vittata and L. narcissoides.  And, many hybrids of these.  The bags are not labeled, so it will be a crap-shoot."

As there is no certain ID, I will combine the bulbs and make shares for requests. I have some notes from Mark on how he grows his bulbs and will include with each order as a jumping off point for those unfamiliar with growing them.

Please send me an email at Bulbexpbs@gmail.com if you have an interest in participating.  Standard rules apply: you must be a current US member, bulbs are $4 per share plus postage due, and you must not be in BX/SX arrears.  Upon receipt, orders should be paid promptly here on the PBS website.  Any questions, please feel free to ask.  

I will distribute the bulbs on a lottery basis and as weather permits. If it's really cold, I will hold until more clement weather.  I'll close this BX next Wednesday, February 12 at 11 p.m. PST.

Additionally, I would like to request that we start to think about bulb donations soon. If you have bulbs to share, I'd love to do our first US BX next month if the timing works out.
Thanks,
Bridget
