Hello- and thank you Mary Sue for the invitation to join. I have certainly missed bulb talk. I garden in Pasadena, Calif. attempting to tame a weedy, terraced hillside formed on decomposing sandstone and also tend a few hundred pots of bulbs and such scattered in the level areas. The favorites are mainly amaryllids but numerous bulb experiments are being grown from IBS Exchange and Silverhill seeds. Slowly some of the seedlings are being put into the ground. Rainlilies are currently in bloom- both in the ground and in pots and many daylilies are continuing. Pat Colville
