The Color Encyclopedia of Cape Bulbs
Alberto Castillo (Tue, 18 Feb 2003 08:24:46 PST)

Dear all:
Everybody sounds shocked by the incredible development of PBS in
such a short time. And grateful for all the time and effort that Mary Sue
has put in the endeavor. I have an additional reason for being grateful for
thanks to her I am the happy owner of a copy of this monumental work, the
Encyclopedia, a mountain of information that will take long to climb!
It was sent as a Christmas gift and arrived yesterday right in time as due
to the immense rainfall lots of Cape bulbs are sprouting since the beginning
of February say two months in advance. I have had to hurry repot as many as
possible before they all sprout. The final count gave 367 species yesterday
which is not bad (with the substantial help from two Australian friends
(Thanks guys!). Therefore the Encyclopedia will provide great help in
habitat information among many other things. Those botanical keys at the
end, ALL IN ONE SINGLE BOOK are invaluable.
I can not figure why Oxalises have been excluded.
Well, many thanks Mary Sue for both reasons.
Kind regards
Alberto
